High-strength concrete (HSC) has higher strength-to-weight ratio and stiffness than normal-
strength concrete (NSC). Therefore, the use of HSC can decrease the construction and …

Previous research shows that frost action represents one of the most dangerous threats to
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. However, very few experimental studies have been …

Despite the widespread application of digital image correlation (DIC) method in concrete
structures, there is no standard procedure to systematically optimising the parameters of …

The non-circular tunnels, for example the quasi-rectangular tunnel, may generate a
considerable shear force at their shoulder joints owing to the geometry effect. To investigate …

In cold environment, the damage of freezing and thawing poses a great threat to the safety of
concrete structures. In this study, six frost-damaged squat reinforced concrete (RC) shear …

Corrosion-caused cover cracking can lead to the serious deterioration of reinforced concrete
(RC) structures. However, only a few experimental studies in the literature have examined …

Nonseismically detailed reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls adjacent to transfer structure
in tall buildings are found to have short shear spans and designed to hold considerable …

Concrete pipes are considered important structures playing integral role in spread of cities
besides transportation of gas as well as oil for far distances. Further, concrete structures …

ABSTRACT A special class of reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall is identified with short
shear span, attributed to the high coupling degree in the elastic design of tall buildings …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the seismic performance of the energy-saving
block and invisible multi-ribbed frame composite walls (EBIMFCW), changing the shear …
