The time-dependent viscoelastic response of cement-based materials to applied
deformation is far from fully understood at the atomic level. Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) …

As an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building material, foamed concrete has
been widely applied for construction against impact loading. To investigate the dynamic …

In this paper, we introduce a novel hybrid model for predicting the compressive strength of
concrete using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) and Rebound Number (RN). First, we collect …

Abstract The Near-Surface Mounted (NSM) strengthening technique has emerged as a
promising alternative to traditional strengthening methods in recent years. Over the past two …

Increasing terrorist attacks towards ordinary or strategic buildings and soft targets represent
one of the major impetus to improve existing methods of design for blast-resistant structures …

In this study, the dynamic compressive behaviour of concrete reinforced with hybrid basalt-
polypropylene fibres (HBPRC) and different matrix strengths was investigated using a split …

Abstract Ionic Liquids (ILs) are increasingly emerging as new innovating green solvents with
great importance from academic, industrial, and environmental perspectives. This surge of …

The aim of this study is to develop a novel computer-aided method for the prediction of the
deflection of reinforced concrete beams (DRCB) under concentrated loads. To this end, in …

To achieve high work performance for compliant mechanisms of motion scope, continuous
work condition, and high frequency, we propose a new hybrid algorithm that could be …

Fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (FRSCC) is a typical construction material, and its
compressive strength (CS) is a critical mechanical property that must be adequately …
