Reinforced concrete slabs are vulnerable to punching shear failure at the slab-column joint,
which can initiate catastrophic progressive collapse. The addition of steel fibers in the …

When fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars are used in concrete structures that are exposed
to harsh environments, their service life is extended and the cost of their life cycle is reduced …

This article is an experimental study of the efficiency after fire exposure of slurry infiltrated
fiber concrete (SIFCON) columns. The aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive study …

RC slab–column structures are widely used because of the advantages of small space
occupation for horizontal members, easy construction and good economy. However, slab …

This study has two main aims; firstly, investigating the behavior of slabs that are
strengthened with different types of reinforcements and with Slurry-Infiltrated Mat Concrete …

The behavior of fibrous high-strength self-compacting concrete flat slabs in punching shear
either with or without shear reinforcement is investigated experimentally and analytically in …

The flat slab is a preferred choice for structural design because of its architectural and
construction efficiency. However, flat slabs collapse frequently because of brittle punching …

The current study combines three techniques: multi-linear regression (MLR), artificial neural
networks (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM) to introduce a novel, alternative …

Abstract Application Earned Value Management (EVM) as a construction project control
technique is not very common in the Republic of Iraq, in spite of the benefit from EVA to the …

This paper presents the TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to Ideal
solution) method to determine the optimal mix proportions of bagasse ash blended high …
