The present study experimentally and analytically investigated the punching behavior of
externally strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) flat slabs using aluminum sheets. The …

Punching occurs in flat slabs around the column as a result of increased column loads,
inadequate steel reinforcement, and weak concrete strength. The goal of the current …

The paper presents a novel sustainable technique for shear strengthening of reinforced
concrete (RC) beams utilizing embedded aluminum boxes and prestressed high …

This paper explores the increasingly popular practice of integrating recycled and upcycled
materials in modern architecture and civil engineering and highlights their central role in …

Sustainable concrete is considered a very important material in building construction in
terms of achieving sustainability pillars and improving its properties. It includes many recent …

As an eco-friendly material, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has lower strength than
natural aggregate concrete. To improve the compressive behaviour of RAC, a bamboo …

This study investigates the effectiveness of different dowel bar techniques in enhancing the
performance of joints connecting concrete slabs in jointed plain concrete pavement …

To align with the trend of the development of prefabricated buildings, this study aimed to
produce unidirectional laminated slabs by using recycled concrete with manufactured sand …

Coral reef debris have emerged as a promising alternative to conventional natural coarse
aggregates, driven by the increasing demand for oceanic structures. To comprehend the …

Considering the excellent corrosion resistance of aluminium alloy, a new-type aluminium-
concrete-steel double skin tubular (ACSDST) member is proposed by replacing the outer …
