Abstract: Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) offers a superior alternative to normal-strength concrete (NSC) due to its significantly higher compressive and tensile strengths, improved ductility, and enhanced durability. This ...

Abstract: Previous studies have clearly shown that flat slabs made of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) have considerably higher punching shear strength than their counterparts made of conventional concrete. However, it may not ...

Abstract: Segmental bridges are widely used for accelerated construction and lower costs and environmental impact. The major concern with such bridges is in the corrosion protection of posttensioning steel strands. Noncorrosive ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber strands offer a viable alternative to corrosion-prone steel strands in posttensioning applications. This study focused on a side-by-side comparison of two types of carbon fiber strands with different elastic ...
