Experimental Evaluation and Modeling of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Columns
Author(s Hakan Yalciner and Atila Kumbasarogl Abstract A total of 30 full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) columns were tested to develop models for the prediction of the structural behavior of corroded RC columns. Of these, 25 RC columns were tested under cyclic...
Mechanical Properties of Rubberized Concrete Containing Recycled Concrete Aggregate Author(s): K. Tamanna, M. Tiznobaik, N. Banthia, and M. Shahria Alam
Author(s K. Tamanna, M. Tiznobaik, N. Banthia, and M. Shahria Alam Abstract Using recycled scrap tire and construction and demolition waste as aggregates in concrete will not only facilitate an environmentally sustainable solution to solid waste disposal but...
Effects of Strain Rate and Strain Hardening on a Cantilever Under Impact
Authors: Ankur A. Kulkarni, PhD Abstract An investigation is carried out to assess the response of elastic–plastic and ductile circular section cantilevers subjected to blast wave loading. A mathematical equation is formulated for the effects of strain rate and...

Authors: Nadia Mokni* Agustín Molinero Guerra†‡ Yu-Jun Cui† Pierre Delage† Patrick Aimedieu† Michel Bornert† Anh Minh Tang† Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate the long-term hydro-mechanical behaviour of a highly heterogeneous MX80 bentonite...
Lightweight Foamed Concrete Mixture for Structural Use
Author(s): Rabab Allouzi, Aya Al Qatawna, and Toqa Al-Kasasbeh Abstract Foamed concrete is currently studied to investigate its feasibility to be used structurally to produce a lightweight concrete mixture that is workable and has sufficient mechanical...
Mortar with Fly Ash and Rubber Waste and Crack Propagation Analysis
Author(s): A. Pczieczek, C. Effting, A. Schackow, I. Ribeiro Gomes, and D. V. Ferronato da Silva Abstract This work aimed to analyze the physical and mechanical properties of mortar with the addition of fly ash and rubber concentrations used on building walls....
Influential Parameters in Rheology of Alkali-Activated Binders
Author(s): Aparna Sai Surya Sree Nedunuri and Salman Muhammad Abstract The production of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) contributes enormously to global anthropogenic CO2 emissions and alkali-activated binders are one of the potential alternatives to OPC. To...
Micromechanical Properties of Self-Healing Concrete with Crystalline Admixture and Silica Fume
Author(s): T. Chandra Sekhara Reddy, A. Ravitheja, and C. Sashidhar Abstract The study aimed at examining the capacity of diverse add-ons in improving the self-healing ability of fiber-reinforced concrete through low water-cement ratios (w/c) and exposure to wide...
