Abstract: The authors studied the solid-phase composition and morphology, pore structure, damage, and deterioration of microstructure, and nano-mechanical properties of cementitious materials in accelerated carbonation reaction. The ...

Abstract: This study aims to develop an improved understanding of the interfacial bond behavior of softwood glulam joints with bonded-in threaded steel rod. A total of 39 glulam joints with bonded-in single-threaded steel rods were ...

Abstract: Carbonation problems relating to concrete durability cannot correspond to the real engineering service environment, because the degradation of concrete properties is actually affected by load and multiple environment factors ...

Abstract: In this study, shearing tests on connections and bending tests on prefabricated timber–concrete composite (PTCC) beams were performed to evaluate the feasibility of using crossed inclined coach screw connections for PTCC ...

Abstract: Syntactic foams (hollow glass macrospheres bonded with a polymer matrix) encased in glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite shells have the potential to enhance structural performance and energy absorption. To ...

Abstract: This paper introduces simple glued laminated (glulam) timber columns reinforced by near-surface-mounted carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates (GTMC columns). Twenty-four columns were fabricated and tested under ...
