This paper presents an experimental investigation of the shear improvement of defected
reinforced concrete (RC) beams using sustainable aluminum boxes filled with high …

Optimization problems aim to minimize or maximize an objective function while fulfilling
related constraints. This objective function may be a single or multi-objective optimization …

This study examines the bond durability behavior of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP)
bars in harsh environments. The effects of surface treatment, concrete compressive strength …

The primary drawback of concrete lies in its low tensile strength, prompting the development
of various solutions to enhance this aspect. A notable approach is the utilization of …

Dam settlement monitoring is a crucial project in the safety management of concrete face
rockfill dams (CFRD) over their whole life cycle. With the development of an automatic …

Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs are widely used in modern building structures due to their
superior properties and ease of construction. However, their mechanical properties are …

Efficiently determining the properties of the rock mass is essential for evaluating tunnel
stability in tunneling projects. The back-analysis technique is commonly employed as an …

Due to the intrinsic complexity, there has been no widely accepted mechanics-based
estimation model of the shear performance of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP)-reinforced …

The present study comprises of novel investigations to optimize the process of surfactant
extraction from two different natural sources viz. protein-based sesame seed and saponin …

This study investigated the flexural performance of one-way reinforced concrete (RC) slabs
strengthened with two distinct strengthening systems: near–surface mounted (NSM) bars …
