Abstract: Shear span-to-effective depth ratio (av/d) is known to affect the shear behavior of RC members. However, this effect has not been appropriately addressed in existing design guidelines for the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) ...

Abstract: Shear span-to-effective depth ratio (

Abstract: Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement showed a good binding capacity on the external Cl− transported into concretes from its surrounding environment. However, it is unclear whether the same binding mechanism can still apply ...

Abstract: The use of seawater as mixing water for concrete production is one of the most efficient strategies to solve freshwater shortage problems. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of seawater mixing on ...

Abstract: X-ray computed tomography (XCT) was used to monitor microstructure changes of hardened cement paste, with different water/cement ratios during a one-dimensional carbonation process. After removing equipment-induced measurement ...

Abstract: Calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSA) has excellent chloride (Cl−) binding capacity, which is significantly influenced by the existence of calcium sulfate within mixes. However, impacts of dosage and type of the calcium ...

Abstract: Externally bonded reinforcement fiber-reinforced polymer (EBR FRP) laminates have been used around the world for the shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with corroded stirrups. The shear span-to-depth ...

Abstract: Ingress of chlorides (Cl−) in concretes is influenced by external applied loads, and it is difficult to conduct a quantitative conclusion via experiments due to the geometry of concrete components and their different ...
