Abnormal events, that are unforeseeable low-probability and high-impact events, cause
local failure (s) to structures that can lead to the collapse of other members and, eventually …

Concrete is a strain rate sensitive material, which is widely used in protective structures, and
its strain rate effect needs to be considered. This study aims to obtain the real strain rate …

This study investigates the effect of continuous rectangular spiral shear reinforcement on
reinforced concrete slabs under low-velocity conditions, crucial for scenarios such as …

The use of expanded clay aggregate (ECA) for develo** lightweight concrete results in
strength-reduction properties. However, the ECA-based concrete strength properties can be …

Reinforced concrete flat solid slabs may experience explosive and impact loads. Reinforced
concrete flat solid slabs have been studied under static and dynamic loads. Researchers …

In recent years, geopolymer concrete (GC) has become more popular in construction
because of its multiple benefits, such as eco-friendliness, high temperature resistance and …

This research aimed to study the impact response of topology optimized hammerhead pier
beam (HPB) based on the density approach. The HPB is prepared with the concept of …

Reinforced concrete slabs can be exposed to explosive and impact loads, prompting
extensive research into their behavior under various static and dynamic loading conditions …

Reinforced concrete (RC) slabs represent integral structural components extensively
employed in architectural and infrastructural frameworks owing to their inherent robustness …

In this study, the performance of reinforced concrete slabs strengthened using four methods
was investigated under impact loads transferred from the top side to bottom side. The top …
