Abstract: This paper presents a study of the tensile behaviors of textile grid–reinforced engineered geopolymer composites (TR-EGCs) using both experimental and numerical methods. EGC is a novel ecofriendly fiber-reinforced geopolymer ...

Abstract: Geopolymers have been long recognized as the next-generation building material due to environmental reasons. However, geopolymers are inherently brittle and usually require high-temperature curing. This paper was intended ...

Abstract: The basic mechanisms and procedures of finite-element (FE) modeling and calibration are briefly presented in the context of bridge condition assessment. Different physical parameters of FE models are adjusted to simulate ...

Abstract: The basic mechanism and procedures of finite-element (FE) bridge modeling and calibration are briefly presented. Different physical parameters of FE models are adjusted during the calibration process. Dynamic-response-based ...

Abstract: Condition assessment is a term that is used to describe the process of characterizing the physical condition of constructed systems. This paper summarizes a condition assessment (CA) procedure based on a complete system ...
