Author(s) Byung-Hwan Ahn, Su-Jin Lee and Chan-Gi Park Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess the physical and mechanical properties of pavement concrete for rural roads of South Korea made with air-cooled slag aggregate, which is an industrial...
Design Service Life of RC Structures with Self-Healing Behaviour to Increase Infrastructure Carbon Savings
Author(s) Ana Bras, John Milan van der Bergh, Hazha Mohammed and Ismini Nakouti Abstract Corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures costs the UK GBP 23b annually and is one of the main durability problems contributing to the development of rust, spalling,...
Contrast of Concrete Dynamic Constitutive Models and Simulation of Vessel–bridge Collision
Author(s) Mi Zhou, PhD Jiang Wu, MCE Jianwei Song, PhD Guoqiang Zhu, MCE Chao Wang, MCE George C. Lee, PhD Abstract Long-span bridges are constructed to cross oceans or rivers. With the rapid growth of waterway transportation, vessel–bridge collision incidents...
Influence of Graded glass Fibres on Strain Hardening and Strain softening Behaviour of CGGF under Uniaxial Stress
Author(s) Hanuma Kasagani Sri Ram Ravi Teja Prathipati Chittem Butchi Kamiswara Rao Abstract In this investigation, four different lengths of glass fibres were blended together in a graded glass fibre form – that is, short graded glass fibre (SGGF: 3 + 6 mm),...
