Reinforced concrete buildings are widely used in seismic regions due to their lower construction cost and ductile behavior under lateral loads. However, the seismic performance of these buildings is highly dependent on ...

This study investigates the bond strength of recycled brick aggregate concrete (RBAC) in un-strengthened lap spliced reinforced beams, contributing to sustainable construction practices. The research examines the effects ...

With the evolution of seismic hazard knowledge and awareness, numerous seismic design approaches have emerged in the last three decades as a response to mitigate discrepancies in seismic forces and reduce vulnerability ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) belong to the most promising family of nano- materials. Due to its potential of effectively altering the characteristics of cement matrices it has been the topic of significant ...

Shear retrofitting of beams has become crucial due to factors such as aging infrastructure, the implementation of new building codes, and shifts in the utility demands of structures. These considerations underline the ...

Frequent terrorist activities worldwide enhance the security threat for critical buildings and bridges which emphasizes the need of wide range research and making design guidelines for blast loaded structural elements. ...

The corrosion of steel reinforcing bars in concrete can reduce its durability in coastal areas. Using the right concrete additives and rebar coating can slow the corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures. ...

The construction of RCC structure is generally time-consuming and if the construction site is in a remote area, then the transportation of the materials is a big issue. Moreover, if the construction is prefabricated then ...

Bridges have proven to be a remarkably effective civil engineering marvel in the past years. They, like everything else, have a life span as well. Once they are constructed and put into service, their deterioration commences. ...
