Abstract: In practice, the initial corrosion of steel is particularly important in terms of the assessment of serviceability and durability. Corrosion initiation of steel is strongly affected by ion chemical compositions and ...

Abstract: This study conducted fire resistance tests on bond-type anchorage systems using ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) as a bonding medium for two types of carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) cables. The study assessed ...

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the contribution of chemical adhesion and friction to the bond stress of a smooth carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendon in ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) under different strain ...

Abstract: The construction of twin tunnels in crowed urban cities requires tunnel excavations in close proximity to one another, in which the interaction between tunnels significantly affects the ground movements generated by ...
