Abstract: Concrete pipes are used widely in sewage pipeline networks due to their superior stiffness, bearing capacity, and low price. However, as the service age increases, the microorganisms inside the pipeline react with the ...

Abstract: Steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC) is extensively used in coupling beams due to its superior mechanical properties. In this study, the two-parameter kinematic theory is modified by introducing the consideration of the ...

Abstract: This paper reports a systematic experimental investigation into the stochastic nonlinearities inherent in reinforced concrete (RC) frames. A series of specimen tests is conducted with a static monotonic lateral loading ...

Abstract: A damage-plasticity model is extended to account for the effects of simultaneously occurring stiffness degradation, residual deformation, and creep. Assuming the additivity of small strains, the model combines damage ...
