Experimental Mechanical Properties and Numerical Simulation of C80 Concrete with Different Contents of Stone Powder
Author(s) Hongmei Wu, Kai Liu, Fang Yang, Bo Shen, Kejian Ma, Jiyang Zhang and Bo Liu Abstract In this paper, we show the influence of stone powder content on the mechanical properties of concrete by experiments and numerical simulations. In numerical...
Investigation of Strength Properties for Concrete Containing Fine-Rubber Particles Using UPV
Author(s) Yeol Choi, Il-Hyun Kim, Hyeon-Jin Lim and Chang-Geun Cho Abstract Since the early 1990s, many studies were conducted to utilize waste tires as a replacement for natural coarse and fine aggregates in concrete, known as rubberized concrete or...
Effect of the Progressive Failure of Shear Connectors on the Behavior of Steel-Reinforced Concrete Composite Girders
Author(s) Fahad Alsharari, Alaa El-Din El-Sisi, Mohammed Mutnbak, Hani Salim and Ayman El-Zohairy Abstract Pre-stressed steel-concrete composite beams are widely used in bridges around the world. Loads during the service life of bridges may cause failure in the...
Influence of Fineness of Wheat Straw Ash on Autogenous Shrinkage and Mechanical Properties of Green Concrete
Author(s) Muhammad Nasir Amin, Muhammad Armaghan Siffat,Khan Shahzada and Kaffayatullah Khan Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of an agricultural by-product wheat straw ash (WSA) as an internal curing agent in reducing the autogenous shrinkage...
Assessment of Woodcrete Using Destructive and Non-Destructive Test Methods
Author(s) Ashraf A.M. Fadiel, Taher Abu-Lebdeh and Florian Ion T. Petrescu Abstract Utilizing solid wastes and industrial by-products as a partial replacement for raw materials has become an acceptable practice among researchers and scientists in the civil...
Physical Modelling to Demonstrate the Feasibility of Screw Piles for Offshore Jacket-supported Wind Energy Structures
Author(s) Craig Davidson* Michael John Brown† Benjamin Cerfontaine‡ Therar Al-Baghdadi§ Jonathan Knappett∥ Andrew Abstract Screw piles potentially offer quieter installation and enhanced axial tensile capacity over straight-shafted driven piles. As such, they...
New Insights into the Failure Mechanisms of Horizontal Plate Anchors in Clay During Pull-out
Author(s) Soroosh Jalilvand* Kenneth Gavin† Vinayagamoothy Sivakumar‡ Robert B. Gilbert§ Aaron Bradshaw∥ Abstract Offshore wind developments are moving towards deep-water regions where energy is abundant, visual impact is minimised and the larger turbine sizes...
Fish Anchor Diving Behaviour: Confirmation Through Field Tests in the Swan River
Author(s) Y. H. Kim* S. H. Chow† M. S. Hossain* J. Zhao* S. Rohan* Abstract This paper reports the results from field tests on a 1/15th scaled fish anchor. The tests were conducted at three locations in the Swan River, Perth, Australia. Two series of tests were...
Robust Performance Analysis of Coastal Wave Energy Converters
Authors Yingguang Wang, PhD Abstract In this paper a new transformed linear simulation method for the robust performance analysis of coastal wave energy converters (WECs) is proposed for the first time. The influences of the bottom effects on the performances...
