Abstract: The short-term flexural behavior of prestressed glulam beams reinforced with curved tendons was investigated via four-point bending of 12 glulam beams. These beams were equally divided into four groups of three identical ...

Abstract: The aim of this research is to investigate the sorptivity and capillary coefficient in unsaturated concrete using the capillary water absorption experiment. The effects of water-binder ratio, fly ash content, and aggregate ...

Abstract: Chloride transport is one of the most serious problems facing reinforced concrete structures, and coatings can effectively block the intrusion of chloride ions. In order to evaluate the resistance of coatings to chloride ...
