Nondestructive Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Structures Based on Fractal Damage Characteristic Factors
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nondestructive damage assessment of civil engineering structures has become a focus of increasing interest for recent decades. Its core is to extract effective damage characteristic information capable of reflecting ...
Experimental Investigation on Dissipated Energy Evolution Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Concrete under Cyclic Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In the fatigue design and analysis of concrete structures, an understanding of the dissipated energy characteristics of the material under cyclic loading is important. However, due to the heterogeneity of concrete, the ...
Predicting the Drying of Concrete by an Anomalous Diffusion Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The drying process of concrete is a complex unsteady heat and mass transfer process that is greatly affected by the drying temperature. The influence of the drying process on the drying characteristics and strength of ...
Nonuniform Corrosion-Induced Stresses in Steel-Reinforced Concrete
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding of cracking behavior of cover concrete is important for assessment of the remaining service life of corrosion-affected concrete structures. Predicting initiation of concrete cracking is commonly based on the ...
Mechanical Responses of Steel Fiber–Reinforced Concrete after Exposure to High Temperature: Experiments and Mesoscale Discrete Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The mechanical responses of steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC) thermally damaged at high temperature needs a deeper evaluation via a mesoscopic model that explicitly treats the fibers. For this demand, the lattice ...
