The rapidly growing demand for taller buildings and longer span bridges in high seismicity
regions obliges structural engineers to develop innovative materials that are stronger and …

To study the flexural behavior of high-strength and high-toughness (HSHT) reinforced
concrete beams with negative Poisson's ratio and special spiral grooves on the surface …

The use of high-strength steel bars (HSSB), high-strength concrete (HSC) and ultra-high
performance concrete (UHPC) in bridge piers can obviously improve bearing capacity and …

The belowground portion of extended pile-shaft-supported bridges is usually prone to
earthquake-induced damage during earthquake shakings. The unobservable pile damage …

High-strength bolts have been widely used in steel bolted connections, and fire-induced
high temperatures will affect its basic mechanical properties and fracture behavior, leading …

Abstract Small scale (∼ 1: 30–1: 40) Reinforced Concrete is useful for centrifuge testing.
However, manufacturing the reinforcing cages by hand at this scale is practically difficult …

Soil contamination with Cryptosporidium is a serious environmental and public health
concern. In this systematic review and meta-analysis we estimated the global prevalence of …

In this paper, combined with the current era background of energy saving and emission
