A new predictive model of the crack width healing for bio-based self-healing concrete using gene expression programming is presented in this study. To model the healing of cracks, an extensive and reliable database of crack ...

An Artificial Neural Network model was developed for lateral load performance of Dhajji Dewari retrofitted by inexpensive Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer retrofitting technique. This model was developed by considering five ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column knee joints are intrinsically distinct from the traditional RC interior and exterior joints. The RC knee joint has two distinct load resistance mechanisms. Its shows different behavior ...

Carbon nano fibers (CNFs) and basalt fibers (BFs) were added into high strength concrete (HSC) to evaluate the fire resilience of incumbent matrix. The mechanical performance was evaluated by conducting material property ...

Construction of high rise structures is on rise in recent decades due to the modern needs and less availability of land areas. As the height of any structure increases, it gets more prone to earthquake and wind induced ...

Microbial induced calcite precipitation for self-healing purpose in concrete is governed by several factors including type of bacteria and the carrier compound. In order to investigate the autonomous healing, this study ...

Concrete is the most consumed material all over the world in construction industry. Though it is more stable than most of the materials, it has still some drawbacks that could be improved. Durability of concrete is main ...

Graphite nano/micro platelets (GNMPs) are one of the most promising nano materials because of their pozzolanic reactivity besides the micro-pore filling effect. It is imperative to characterize their behavior under different ...

Owing to its benefit of changing stiffness, Magnetorheological Elastomers (MRE) can be effectively used as base isolator in buildings and bridges to resist unpredictable loading conditions e.g. seismic activities. This ...

The performance of high strength concrete (HSC) under fire conditions is an established concern in concrete industry. The kinetics and mechanisms involved in processes that affect the fire behavior of HSC are mostly ...
