Present State of Concrete Floating Structures

Steel Concrete Composite Structures: State of Art

The aim of this review article is to examine solutions and challenges associated with composite construction. Structural steel and concrete, each of the two materials can be used to its best advantage and, therefore, composite structures have proved economical in terms of overall cost. Combination of steel and concrete systems has been conceived on the premises that each type of construction of...

Concrete data structures as games

A result by Curien establishes that filiform concrete data structures can be viewed as games. We extend the idea to cover all stable concrete data structures. This necessitates a theory of games with an equivalence relation on positions. We present a faithful functor from the category of concrete data structures to this new category of games, allowing a game-like reading of the former. It is po...

Concrete Mixing Methods and Concrete Mixers: State of the Art

As for all materials, the performance of concrete is determined by its microstructure. Its microstructure is determined by its composition, its curing conditions, and also by the mixing method and mixer conditions used to process the concrete. This paper gives an overview of the various types of mixing methods and concrete mixers commercially available used by the concrete industry. There are t...

Nonlinear Analysis of Steel-Concrete Composite Structures: State of the Art

This paper presents the current state of the art of nonlinear analysis of steel-concrete composite structures. The focus is on frame elements, which are computationally faster than continuum finite element models. First, section models are presented, with a review of resultant and fiber models and a discussion of possible practical applications. The presentation of frame elements follows. Model...
