This review explores the development and potential applications of space concrete, a critical
material for future extraterrestrial construction. Space concrete, adapted to withstand the …

The study is focused on the comparison and discussion of different approaches within the
use of the global resistance method (GRM) for safety assessment of reinforced concrete …

Abstract Friction Pendulum Bearing (FPB) with shearing keys will exhibit friction-coupling
effect and collision phenomenon subjected to horizontal orthogonal ground motions. This …

The current Italian code “NTC2018” and Eurocode “EC8” provide specific design
requirements in terms of flexural overstrength factors for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings …

The assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures, especially bridges and viaducts,
nowadays is one of the most relevant aspects for engineers. In fact, due to the old age of a …

In internally post‐tensioned (PT) prestressed concrete (PC) structures, the prestressing
system is usually made of high‐strength steel tendons embedded within concrete through …

This paper investigated the blast behavior of a low‐rise composite steel structure of three
stories subjected to internal and external explosions for the same explosive charge of 250 …

The contemporary study delves into the evaluation of the proficiency of artificial neural
networks, response surface methodology (RSM), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system …

The quantitative characterization of concrete multiple cracks in fractal dimension is limited to
the holistic macroscopic characterization of a particular damage state only, and fails to …

Eurocode 8 is undergoing revisions, including introducing new ductility classes and
displacement-based design methods alongside traditional force-based ones. Additionally …
