ALL ABOUT CIVIL ENGINEERING
AbstractThis paper reports on a series of four-point bending experiments to investigate the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with externally bonded basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) sheets. The…
AbstractInvestigations into the dielectric properties of concrete form the basis for concrete quality testing and condition monitoring of internal structures when using ground penetrating radar (GPR). The formula used to…
AbstractThe present paper shows the results of nonlinear finite-element analysis (FEA) of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) confined reinforced concrete (RC) wall-like columns under concentric and eccentric axial…
AbstractHygro-thermal and hydration behaviors exist in concretes at early ages, which inevitably affect their mechanical properties. Accompanying water consumption in the concrete, there are several irreversible thermodynamic processes, including hydration…
AbstractConstruction nonconformity assessment of buildings is critical to ensure the anticipated quality and living safety for their future occupants. Previous studies have paid less attention to identifying and analyzing building…
AbstractExternally bonded carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have been instrumental in the flexural strengthening of concrete structures. However, intermediate crack debonding from the concrete substrate is a governing failure mode…
AbstractCracks are one of the factors that can weaken reinforced concrete structures (RCSs), and are associated with a reduction in concrete durability. RCSs could encounter concrete crack issues due to…
AbstractHollow concrete columns (HCCs) are an effective structural system for piles, electric poles, and bridge piers due to their low self-weight in conjunction with the high strength offered and reduced…
AbstractSteel plate girders are considered a viable solution for the construction of medium- to long-span bridges. Despite their many advantages, various concerns have been raised regarding their maintenance due to…
AbstractThe compressive behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-confined concrete columns with a noncircular cross section has been investigated through extensive experimental, analytical, and numerical research, but a unified theoretical/numerical approach that…
