Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties
are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …

Dapped end prefabricated concrete purlins (PCPs) suffer from shear damages due to
coating, snow, wind load and also their dead loads. In this present study, a series of …

Reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column connections especially those without transverse
reinforcement in joint region can exhibit brittle behavior when intensive damage is …

In cable-stayed bridges, cables are susceptible to fatigue damage due to cyclic traffic loads.
The accurate monitoring of cable tension is critical in assessing fatigue damage and …

In prefabricated industrial buildings, damages and collapses may occur under snow loads. If
the necessary precautions are not taken, the damage can spread to the whole structure …

Abstract The Damage Plastic Model is one of the most widespread models used to simulate
the real behavior of concrete. The high reliability of this model could be attributed to its ability …

A new type of hybrid seawater sea-sand concrete (SWSSC) beam-type member was
proposed and tested in this paper. It adopted transversely placed basalt fiber-reinforced …

This paper presents an investigation of a new type of seawater sea-sand concrete (SWSSC)
beam which consists of BFRP bars/grids and BFRP-wrapped steel tubes (BWST). The …

This paper presents the details, analysis and results of an investigation into the compressive
behaviour of concrete-filled stiffened steel tubular (CFSST) slender columns. These are …

Strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) was widely recognized as a material that
possesses great potential in the repair and strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) …
