A thorough understanding of the evolution of strain and damage accumulation is a
prerequisite for effective control of the surrounding rock to ensure good stability and better …

Diverse loads frequently damage concrete when it is in use. However, it might be
challenging to immediately identify the stress and damage of concrete in actual engineering …

The exterior beam-column joint (BCJ) within reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures is
acknowledged as a vulnerable component prone to seismic failure. This article proposes a …

This paper studies the lateral behavior of a reinforced concrete tessellated structural-
architectural (TeSA) shear wall system. TeSA walls are made of prefabricated repetitive tiles …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are metallic materials that are characterized by their ability to
restore their original shape after large deformation when activated by heating. This unique …

This study investigated the structural response of timber-plain concrete panels bonded with
epoxy and PUR adhesives under a four-point bending load, both experimentally and …

The exterior beam-column joints (BCJs) in reinforced concrete (RC) structures are critical
and often vulnerable elements, particularly under seismic conditions, with the potential for …

Experimental and numerical studies on shear behaviour of macro synthetic fibre reinforced
prestressed concrete (MSFRPC) beams are presented. MSFRPC beams are tested at a …

Prefabricated cantilevered beam-column structures have gained popularity in mountainous
road construction. However, a notable research gap exists regarding the beam-column …

This study was carried out to assess the punching shear behavior of flat slabs considering
the use of various column shapes such as L, T, and Cruciform as support. The flat slab floor …
