Many Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings are damaged by Terrorist attacks all over the world. It results in damages to assets, loss of life, and social panic. In principle, structural designs ensure the protection and safety ...

Concrete columns encased in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) have been explored for usage in civil engineering constructions in recent years. This paper presents the results of a study to have better understanding ...

Reinforced concrete beams are a main structural element that may support and transfer loads. Their primary purpose is to resist bending and shearing. Under monotonic and cyclic loading, the shear strength of reinforced ...

Reinforced concrete haunched beams (RCHBs) are widely used in structural applications such as bridges, mid-rise buildings, and portal frames due to their ability to efficiently resist high shear forces while offering ...

This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the optimization of the intake tower structure at the Megech Dam using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). The Megech Dam, located in the Amhara National Regional State of Northwestern ...

The existing structure might not have enough seismic resistance capacities due to construction errors, design by old building design codes (EBCS 1995), deterioration, and building function changes. To increase the seismic ...

The mechanical properties of concrete are the most important parameters in a design code and the strength of concrete is one of them. It mainly depends on factors such as cement consumption, water-cement ratio and nature ...

High temperature on concrete members affects serviceability and rehabilitation of buildings and other reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, to assess the performance of reinforced concrete members it is important to ...

Study and research are needed to design and analyze the Yushania Alpina bamboo species for strip panel board formwork application. The research was conducted to determine the compressive strength of bamboo culms to select ...

In fire conditions, Concrete Filled Stainless Steel Tubular columns undergo multi-phase fire and loading condition. These are loading at ambient temperature, loading during the heating as the fire accelerates, loading ...
