Significant growth in the consumption of plastic products is observed all over the world in
recent years; this has contributed to increasing the production of plastic waste. Reuse of …

Steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) is being increasingly applied to various buildings
and civil infrastructure as an advanced cementitious composite. In recent years, the …

Solid waste is one of the many factors that negatively affect the environment. Problems stem
from factors such as difficulty of waste recycling and limited reuse. Plastic is an important …

Geopolymers are generally agreed to provide good steel-to-concrete bonding performance
and fire resistance. However, few previous studies on geopolymer investigated the steel-to …

Geopolymers are innovative materials possessing properties similar to normal OPC, while
having less environmental impact. The current research was conducted on GGBFS based …

Influence of high temperature on the properties of concrete containing non-ground
granulated blast-furnace slag (GBFS) and coal bottom ash (BA) as fine aggregate was …

Fire is a significant hazard to the safe operation of tunnels, causing extensive damage and
deterioration to the lining. This research proposed a prototype test of a shield tunnel …

Cement production produces more CO2 released into the environment, worsening global
warming. Certainly, a more sustainable approach and a thorough investigation of the …

The high temperatures of fires affect the physical and chemical properties of the concrete
and thus influence its mechanical properties. This paper presents the results of an …

Extensive research has shown that fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps are very effective
for strengthening concrete columns for increased axial and flexural load and deformation …
