Cracking is a common problem in concrete structures in real-life service conditions. In fact,
crack-free concrete structures are very rare to find in real world. Concrete can undergo early …

Concrete crack is one of the main problems observed in concrete technology due to drying
shrinkage. Incorporating fibers in concrete production is one of the mechanisms …

The abundant availability of natural fibres around the globe seeks researchers' attention on
their potential use as construction materials. There is a need to explore the structural …

A new concept for designing concrete pavements by optimising the slab geometry in order to
reduce the slab thickness as well as to minimise the mechanical load transfer devices has …

Climatic and environmental conditions have significant effects on pavement performance but
have been inadequately considered in previous design methods. The Mechanistic …

The identification of influence surfaces (ISs) for bridge structures offers an efficient tool for
understanding traffic loads and assessing structural conditions. In general, ISs of a real …

The assumption of a linear temperature change through the slab depth has been
overwhelmingly used in pavement analysis since Westergaard proposed a curling solution …

To locate and quantify local damage in a simply supported bridge, in this study, we derived a
rotational-angle influence line equation of a simply supported beam model with local …

The effective temperature difference between the slab's top and bottom at time of final set is
an important input parameter for the recently developed mechanistic-empirical pavement …

Fatigue is one of the most common modes of failure in both flexible and rigid pavements.
Several studies have been conducted to study this phenomenon for pavement materials …
