Fire has been a scourge of society for a very long time due to its impact on the human and
economic aspects. Fire resistance is a characteristic of concrete buildings, and residential …

A framework is proposed for the probabilistic estimation of yearly economic losses due to fire
in concrete building structures. The fire loss estimation accounts for the uncertainties in the …

This paper introduces several new damage states for shear walls with flexural behavior
damaged in an earthquake. These damage states are deducted by carefully interpretation of …

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) shows more complex behavior in fresh and hardened
concrete due to its higher water absorption, weak bonding capacity, poor interfacial …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures may confront with extreme loading conditions.
Sometimes, structures are not only under extreme loading such as earthquakes but also …

In order to provide a good solution for the treatment and utilization of construction waste,
especially waste concrete and to promote the development of green construction to some …

Fire is a common occurrence in recent years. Judging from the 21 case studies reviewed in
the present study, the approaches adopted in the assessment of fire-damaged concrete …

In engineering, reinforced concrete beams are subjected to natural erosion and the working
stress state. However, previous studies regarding structural fire have focused on new …

Geopolymer-based high-performance concrete (GHPC) stairs have been proposed as an
alternative solution that fulfills both lightweight and load-bearing requirements for …

Fire obviously causes negative effects on reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Assessment
of these postfire structures is ultimately important to provide information for making decisions …
