Concrete is the most widely used building material in civil infrastructure, and strength is the
most effective evaluation index to measure its quality. Sub-standard raw materials, flawed …

Non-destructive testing (NDT) has a vital role in finding surface hardness of concrete
members. B-Proceq curve can calculate the concrete strength by providing statistical …

The vulnerability of concrete to sulfuric acid attack requires much attention in both design
and maintenance. Taking the waste management approach into account, this study utilized …

During this anthropocentric period, sustainable energy supply and climate changing could
be a main source of problem for human being. Scientists believe that the ratio of climate …

This study is aimed to predict the behaviour of channel shear connectors in composite floor
systems at different temperatures. For this purpose, a soft computing approach is adopted …

Different parameters potentially affect the properties of corroded reinforced concrete beams.
However, the high number of these parameters and their dependence cause that the …

Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are obtained by concrete recycling processes. When
adopted with specially graded aggregate, long-established inexpensive and unobtrusive …

This study presents a comparative assessment of conventional soft computing techniques in
estimating the compressive strength (CS) of concrete utilizing two non-destructive tests …

Structural design of a composite beam is influenced by two main factors, strength and
ductility. For the design to be effective for a composite beam, say an RC slab and a steel I …

Steel-concrete composite beams are widely used in the construction of tall building with
steel floors. In these floors, the bearing capacity of beams in which the performance of …
