This paper investigates whether the model uncertainty of reinforced recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) beams subjected to bending differs from that of reinforced natural aggregate concrete (NAC) beams. An introductory remark concerning the importance of the codification of RAC structural design is made and notions concerning model uncertainties and their role on structural codification are given...

In this Era of globalization when GDP of most of the countries are spending on an average 8% of the economy on infrastructure and when we see around us about the term infrastructure mostly we see the huge contribution of concrete in it; in addition to this three important terms are named as “Quality, Quantity and Economy”. There is a deadly race among the nations of various parts of the globe t...

Tire derived aggregate (TDA) has been proposed as a possible lightweight replacement for mineral aggregate in concrete. The role played by the amount of TDA replacing coarse aggregate as well as different treatment and additives in concrete on its properties is examined. Conventional concrete (without TDA) and concrete containing TDA are compared by examining their compressive strength based on...
