Abstract: The flexural deformation of structural members is due to their curvature. For reinforced concrete (RC) members, this curvature depends on the tensile strain of the reinforcement and the compressive strain of the concrete. ...

Abstract: Composite lintels are formed above the door and window openings of glass-fiber-reinforced gypsum (GFRG) wall constructions. These lintels are constructed by filling reinforced concrete into the hollow cores of the GFRG ...

Abstract: A new structural approach that uses composite partial interaction to improve the strength and ductility of rectangular reinforced concrete columns has been studied experimentally. By increasing the compressive resistance ...

Abstract: A new concrete recycling method is to crush demolished concrete into distinctly large recycled concrete lumps (RCLs), which are in a direct mix with fresh concrete, leading to the so-called compound concrete. Not only can ...
