Development of G-GBFSD Geopolymer Concrete
Abstract Development of geopolymer concrete (GPC) with industrial by-products is a solution to the disposal of the industrial wastes, thus making the concreting process sustainable. This paper focuses on the development of GPC using ground-granulated blast-furnace...
Effect of Coatings on Concrete Resistance to Physical Salt Attac
Abstract In this study, different types of surface coatings were applied to concrete to assess their suitability for resisting physical salt attack (PSA). Concretes with different water-binder ratios (w/b) were tested and severe PSA conditions were implemented, using...
Evaluating Curling Stress of Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavement
Abstract A realistic assessment of the effect of curling stress on long-term performance of continuous reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) is required in rational design. The main objective of this research is to quantify the thermal behavior of CRCP and the curling...
Shear Behavior of Fly-Ash-Incorporated Recycled Aggregate Concrete Beam
Abstract Shear behavior of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam designed without transverse reinforcement is significantly influenced by the properties of concrete. This paper investigates the effect of fly ash incorporation as 20 and 30% of the total binder content in...
Design Approach for Compressive Arch Action in Reinforced Concrete Beam
Abstract This paper addresses a direct design approach for compressive arch action in reinforced concrete beams. Equilibrium and compatibility of the beam are established on a plastic hinge mechanism. The effects of axial and rotational stiffnesses are considered...
Ceramic Waste Powder as Alternative Mortar-Based Cementitious Materia
Abstract Recycling of factory waste is an essential activity these days. Ceramic waste material is among the highest produced worldwide. The aim of this paper is to investigate the feasible application of ceramic waste powder (CWP) as an alternative cementitious...
Flexural Strength of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beams
Abstract An experimental study was conducted to predict the flexural strength of corroded full-scale reinforced concrete (RC) beams. Two different concrete strength levels at two different steel ratios were tested for different corrosion levels ranging from 0 to 17%....
Modeling of Hysteretic Response for Concrete Shear Walls Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars
Abstract Glass fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) bars are increasingly recognized as being suitable as the primary reinforcement in concrete structures. In recent years, many researchers have been studying their seismic performance as a lateral resisting system. Because...
Strength of Composite Beams with Steel Fiber- Reinforced Concrete
Abstract Composite beams of normal-strength concrete (NSC) and steel fiber-reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRC) are frequently used for strengthening existing buildings and precast concrete constructions. In this study, shear strength of NSC-SFRC composite beams...
