Enhancing the durability of structural elements is a viable approach to promote sustainability
in civil engineering. Research has shown that well-maintained slabs outperform degraded …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the mechanical behaviors of
steel‒concrete composite decks with different shear span-to-depth ratios. Herein, four …

In the field of engineering materials, lightweight and ultra-lightweight composites are used in
real time to a greater extent, with high-performance targeting for tailor-made systems in …

Industrial Revolution 4.0 has led to the age of automation and industrialized building
systems. Composite slabs gain its popularity in the modern construction industry due to its …

In recent years, the combined use of posttensioning methods with steel decking in the
concrete slabs has provided significant benefits in both economic and structural terms. In …

Past historical earthquake events from neighbouring countries have been proven to be
disastrous. Building in the aftermath of an earthquake may reduce structural reliability …

The use of polyurethane concrete (PUC) with a high compressive strength together with a
corrugated steel plate (CSP) with a high tensile strength can improve the bending capacity …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the flexural performance of fourteen corrugated-steel
plate PVA fiber reinforced recycled concrete composite slabs. Four parameters, such as the …

In order to solve the problem that the bottom plate of a common concrete composite slab is
easy to crack and a lot of vertical supports are needed in its construction, a kind of oblique …

Biobased materials are derived from wholly or partly from renewable sources. They are
progressively replacing the conventional materials derived from fossil fuels in a broad range …
