Provision of cost effective yet high performance/ efficient building solution has become a real challenge in construction industry due to an unusual upward trend in the cost during recent years. Hence, there is a need to ...

Use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been a good solution for many problems in many fields. FRP is available in different types (carbon and glass) and shapes (sheets, rods, and laminates). Civil engineers ...

This study focuses on the use of steel slag as a percentage replacement of natural-weight coarse aggregate in concrete to study already established assessment parameters. Disposal of slag is a major concern for steel ...

Fire is one of the most dangerous threats to which buildings are exposed. Concrete exposed to high temperatures undergoes significant physical and chemical changes. In order to tackle these threats, researchers have used ...

Numerous techniques have been used for the rehabilitation of existing RC structures. Concrete or steel jacketing, fiber-reinforced polymer wrapping are commonly available techniques. To improve the response of bridge ...

Due to advancement in sensing technology and IoT in the last few decades, Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and vibration-based health monitoring of infrastructure (SHM) techniques have gain relevance in structure integrity ...

Unreinforced masonry structures are the most vulnerable during an earthquake because of their low tensile strength and brittle behavior. There is a significant need to strengthen these structures considering seismic ...

This study presents the application and comparison of soft computing techniques, such as,Gene Expression programming (GEP) and Multi Expression Programming (MEP) for modeling the compressive strength of carbon fiber-reinforced ...

vi ABSTRACT The process of rubber decomposition is extremely slow and time consuming, the disposal of wasted tire causes environmental issue and very dangerous for public health. The addition of wasted rubber to make ...

In design practice, seismic design of buildings is carried out considering single site specific earthquake, assuming an initially undamaged building condition. However, in real time scenario, earthquakes occur ...
