An important application of FRP composites is as a confining material for concrete, in both
the seismic retrofit of existing reinforced concrete columns and in the construction of …

Analytical models for the full stress–strain relationship of confined and unconfined concrete
in compression are required for the numerical simulation of the structural behavior of …

The inferior performance of eco-friendly concrete owing to the addition of waste materials is
a big hurdle in its practical adaptation. This study focuses on developing eco-friendly and …

This study investigates the effect of steel fiber contents of 1.5% and 3% with different aspect
ratios on the uniaxial tensile and compressive behavior of ultra high performance concrete …

The main objective of this study is to provide more data on the effects of expanded perlite on
the mechanical properties and thermal conductivity of lightweight concrete. In the …

The use of recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste (CDW) as
replacement of fine and coarse natural aggregate has increased in recent years in order to …

Owing to the shortage of space for land reclamation in Hong Kong, it is difficult to dispose of
tons of masonry waste generated daily from construction activities. Adoption of recycled …

A large number of experimental studies have been conducted over the last two decades to
understand the behavior of FRP-confined concrete columns. This paper presents a …

With a rising tide of adoption of recycled aggregate (RA) for construction, investigation on
ways to improve the quality of RA has been overwhelming. The adoption of RA brings …

Accurate prediction of stress–strain relationship of concrete is of vital importance to
accurately predict the overall structural behavior of reinforced concrete members. The …
