The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

The generation of sample functions of stochastic fields or processes is a prerequisite to use
the Monte Carlo method in stochastic mechanics and structural reliability analysis. When it …

Performance assessment of a transportation network is naturally a complicated problem.
This is mainly due to the fact that such a spatially distributed network is subjected to a variety …

This study presents the results of a refined numerical investigation meant at understanding
the time‐dependent cyclic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns under …

Crack initiation of concrete cover due to corrosion defines the end of functional service life
where repair or replacement is required for corroded reinforced concrete (RC) structures …

Detecting defects within reinforced concrete is vital to the safety and durability of our built
infrastructure upon which we heavily rely. In this work a non‐invasive technique …

Expansion joints in bridge superstructures are often difficult to maintain, leading to the
problems associated with water leakage and debris accumulation. As a potential solution …

This study investigates deteriorating reinforced concrete (RC) columns subjected to multiple
earthquake events, taking into consideration how a combination of environmental stressors …

Since reinforced concrete structures are normally exposed to several environmental
stressors during their service life, it is necessary to measure the extent of corrosion of …

To investigate the seismic liquefaction performance of earth dams under earthquake
loading, we present a new methodology for evaluating the seismic response of earth dams …
