The effectiveness of utilizing near surface mounted (NSM) ropes of carbon fiber reinforced
polymers (CFRP) in restoring the mechanical performance of heat-damaged RC slabs were …

Determining the damage level of the fire-damaged concrete structure is critical for the
structural assessment and repair of buildings after fire. Existing methods assess the damage …

Sensible thermal energy storage using concrete as a storage medium is a promising
technology that helps minimize energy in power plant. The purpose of this study is to …

This paper examines different modeling approaches to simulate the behavior of reinforced
concrete (RC) tunnel slabs under fire during both the heating and cooling phases. Three …

Structures may collapse during the cooling phase of a fire, yet standard furnace tests only
measure the response under heating. There lacks experimental test protocols and design …

Lightweight foamed concrete (LFC) made from cementitious materials with air pores
entrapped in the matrix by mechanically entrained foam in the mortar slurry has several …

Abstract A 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is presented to assess the entity
and extension of concrete spalling induced by a fire in a road tunnel, simulating the material …

Dynamic compression tests of granite after thermal shock were performed using the split
Hopkinson pressure bar system, to determine the effects of strain rate and temperature on …

Traditional heat transfer analysis has been adopted to predict the damage in a tunnel under
fire without considering the effect of concrete spalling, which leads to underestimation of the …

Fire hazards can cause severe and irrecoverable damage to reinforced concrete (RC)
tunnel linings. Historically, major fire events have led to months of downtime and millions of …
