Abstract: Performance-based design for fire safety has been introduced in several international design frameworks. The fire models and simulations include various assumptions and simplifications, and the current fire resistance ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are effectively and predominantly used for flexure strengthening of RC beams. Recently, new emerging composite materials known as galvanized steel mesh (GSM) sheets, which ...

Abstract: Cement has historically been a major contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, and substituting cement in concrete with alternative cementitious materials will lead to a decrease in carbon footprints. A vast amount of ...

Abstract: The low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior of steel in energy-dissipating seismic connections is an important consideration, especially in light of the interest in performance-based seismic design. In this study, the LCF performance ...
