Impacts of Sea Level Rise on Wave Overtopping Rates around the Coast of England
Author(s) Dominic P. Hames, BEng, MSc, PhD, CEng, MCIWEM Isabel Vidal, MSc, GMICE Ben P. Gouldby, BSc (Hons) Abstract There is unequivocal evidence that global sea levels are rising. It is therefore inevitable there will be socioeconomic impacts as a result of...
Seismic Fragility Analysis of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Bridges in Bandar Abbas, Iran
Author(s) Mohammadreza Seify Asghshahr, PhD Alireza Rahai, PhD Abstract The seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges in the coastal environment of Bandar Abbas, Iran, was investigated. Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis results of the region,...
Basalt Fibers Reinforced Concrete: Strength and Failure Modes
Author(s) y Buthainah Nawaf AL-Kharabsheh, Mohamed Moafak Arbili, Ali Majdi, Saleh M. Alogla, A. Hakamy, Jawad Ahmad, and Ahmed Farouk Deifalla Abstract The low tensile capacity of concrete often results in brittle failure without any warning. One way to cope...
Diagnostics of the RC Roofing Structure of the 100-Year-Old Municipal Theatre Facility
Author(s) Marta Kosior-Kazberuk, Janusz Ryszard KrentowskiORCID andMaciej WardachORCID Abstract Reinforced concrete has been a widely used material for the construction of buildings for many decades. However, with the passage of time, the material...
Structural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams Containing Nanomaterials Subjected to Monotonic and Cyclic Loadings
Author(s) y Gouda A. Mohamed, Ezzaat A. Sallam and Ahmed N. Elbelacy Abstract The use of nanomaterials improves the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beams in terms of cracking load, failure load, and deflection. To further evaluate this improvement, the...

Author(s) Mohammed Najeeb Al-Hashem, Muhammad Nasir Amin, Waqas Ahmad, Kaffayatullah Khan, Ayaz Ahmad Saqib Ehsan,Qasem M.S. Al-Ahmad and Muhammad Ghulam Qadir Abstract Estimating concrete properties using soft computing techniques has been shown to be a time...
Numerical Study and Seismic Design of Corroded Circular RC Columns Strengthened by C-FRCM
Author(s) Ran Feng Yanwen Li Ji-Hua Zhu Abstract This study aims to numerically investigate the behaviour of corroded circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened by carbon-fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (C-FRCM) composites. Three-dimensional...
Dynamic Response of Reinforced Recycled Aggregate Concrete Pavement under Impact Loading
Author(s) Jifeng Yuan, Jin Wu, Tian Su, 5ORCID andDadi Abstract Airport runway pavements often undergo the direct impact of aircraft landings. For the purposes of designing the structure, it is of great importance to know about the dynamic response of the...
A Taxonomy of Bridges at Risk of flooding: Towards Bridge Classes and Damage Models
Author(s) Open access content Subscribed content Free content Trial content Abstract Many communities around the world are facing increasing flood-induced damage to bridges due to climate change and rising urbanisation. It is thus crucial to understand how...
