This review is focused on the durability aspects of timber structures strengthened with fibre-
reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Although FRP composite enhances the strength and …

Piezoelectric materials are capable of transforming mechanical strain and vibration energy
into electrical energy. This property allows opportunities for implementing renewable and …

Using fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites together with seawater and sea sand
concrete (SWSSC) in coastal areas will overcome the environmental issues of using …

The popularity of concrete has been accompanied with dreadful consumptions that have led
to huge carbon footprint in our environment. The exhaustion of natural resources is not yet …

In recent years, research articles involving molecular dynamics simulations of construction
materials have grown significantly in number. The growth reflects an emerging need to …

Abstract Vertical Greenery Systems (VGS) are upcoming facade cladding fixtures which
restore the connection between the city and nature. They are capable of providing thermal …

This paper proposes a novel method for strengthening existing timber beams that can
effectively improve the deformability of beams. As high-performance engineered bamboo …

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is a promising nanomaterial with excellent mechanical, electrical,
thermal, and chemical stability. It has received extensive attention due to its unique …

FRP-reinforced concrete widely used in engineering with excellent salt resistance is a
potential alternative to steel-reinforced concrete in harsh environments. This paper reviews …

In seismic European countries most of the residential building stock is highly energy-
intensive and earthquake-prone because it was built before the enforcement of the most …
