One of the most common forms of deterioration imposed on concrete structures is surface
abrasion. This mechanical wearing can be a catalyst for other forms of deterioration such as …

Durability and dimensional stability problems are emerged in road concrete due to traffic
loads and environmental factors. The concrete surface treatment is one of the preferred …

Fire has become one of the most serious hazards to structures. Concrete constructions that
are exposed to fire or high temperatures degrade and lose their strength as a result. The …

This article presents a case study on the thermal assessment of a reinforced concrete (RC)
foundation exposed to low temperatures. The foundation supports a 19,500 m3-capacity …

The ageing management of nuclear power plants (NPPs) is a requirement based on
national regulatory guidelines, and the recommendations of the International Atomic Energy …

This study investigates the punching shear behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs with
various shear reinforcement, including newly developed metallic fibres. Six slab specimens …

The consciousness of manufacturing influence on the environment and the necessity to
increase the efficient production was the primary drive that has motivated researchers to …

In this study, the creep behaviors of amorphous steel fiber-reinforced concrete were
investigated. Two different types of tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of amorphous …

The performance of composite prestressed concrete beam topped with reinforced concrete
flange structures in fire depends upon several factors, including the change in properties of …

A parking garage near the north entrance of the University of Toledo built in 1976 had a
prestressed spandrel beam fail. The L shaped prestressed spandrel beam exhibited a large …
