Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of precast concrete sandwich panels (PCSPs) made with truss shear connectors, which accounts for partial shear interaction. A theoretical model is developed based on variational principles ...

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate and explain the influence of creep of concrete, insulation, and diagonal bars on the behavior of precast-concrete sandwich panels. A theoretical model is developed based on a layered structural ...

Abstract: The drying shrinkage of concrete is predicted in this study from shrinkage tests conducted on cement paste specimens, combined with mesoscale analysis of mortar and concrete images that were obtained from X-ray micro ...

Abstract: The durability of profiled metal-faced insulating sandwich panels (MFISPs) in terms of exposure to high temperatures and thermal cycles is critical for their use in civil engineering applications. In this paper, a total ...

Abstract: Many riverine systems have been disconnected from their receiving basins by flood-protection levees and other engineered systems. Reconnecting these alluvial rivers with their receiving basins is a viable option to nourish ...

Abstract: The structural behavior of masonry walls laterally strengthened with externally bonded composite materials to resist out-of-plane loads is theoretically and experimentally studied. Hollow concrete block masonry walls and ...
