When subjected to fire loading, shallow tunnels may experience loss of stability. This may
result in large deformations and ultimately in local collapse of such structures. High …

This paper investigates high‐strength concrete (HSC) exposed to high temperatures using
the full replacement of natural aggregates with steel slag. Polypropylene (PP) and steel …

The building industry offers a wide range of materials whose structural behavior is more or
less affected by temperature. While the knowledge and experience with concrete behavior …

The damage caused by fire can seriously affect the durability and safety of an immersed
tunnel, including the reduction of structural bearing capacity and the spalling and cracking of …

The degradation mechanism of ethylene–propylene–diene monomer (EPDM), when used
as a sealant material for shield tunnels, must be known to assess of the service life of …

The mechanical properties of concrete can degrade significantly under high temperature,
posing a threat to the safety of structures. In this work, a novel bio-inspired cement-based …

A full-scale tunnel fire test requires extensive preparation of the fire source and an empirical
design setup of the tunnel to reach 1200° C of tunnel fire temperature. This paper shows …

Concrete has recently found increasing applications in structures exposed to high
temperatures. It is, therefore, necessary from an engineering viewpoint to improve the …

In view of the global–local property and multiscale characteristics of spalling behavior in
tunnel lining, superposition-based phase field fracture model is introduced within a …

This work analyzes the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior up to failure of self-
compacting high strength concrete specimens when subjected to three different stress paths …
