A Review of Current Research on Concrete Structures under Impulsive Loading

Computational Modelling of Concrete Structures Subjected to High Impulsive Loading

Experimental Study on Performance of Fiber Concrete-filled Tube Columns under Axial Loading

There have been great developments in the area of civil engineering in the recent few decades and among these, construction and material innovation are quite prominent. Steel-concrete composite construction has emerged as one of the fastest methods of construction. Even though considerable research efforts on conventional reinforced concrete columns have been executed prior to now, concrete fil...

Substructure Model for Concrete Behavior Simulation under Cyclic Multiaxial Loading

This paper proposes a framework for the constitutive model based on the semi-micromechanical aspects of plasticity, including damage progress for simulating behavior of concrete under multiaxial loading. This model is aimed to be used in plastic and fracture analysis of both regular and reinforced concrete structures, for the framework of sample plane crack approach. This model uses multilamina...

Crack Growth and Lifetime of Concrete under Long Time Loading

Edge-notched eccentrically compressed fracture specimens made of aggregate of reduced size are loaded in standard creep test frames. Measurements of the time rate of crack mouth opening in notched concrete specimens subjected to constant load of almost one month duration are reported and analyzed. To reveal the size effect, geometrically similar specimens of four sizes in the ratio I :2:4:8 are...

Performance of Dowel Bar Retrofitted Concrete Pavement Under HVS Loading

The California Department of Transportation uses Dowel Bar Retrofit (DBR) as a rehabilitation strategy for concrete pavements. Two test sections were dowel bar retrofitted and a third section was designated for control on US 101 near Ukiah, California. All three sections were subjected to accelerated pavement testing using the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS). The HVS results demonstrated a large ...
