Steel bar corrosion, which is considered to be a significant degradation issue in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, may cause premature failure during seismic events. Many experimental studies have been conducted investigate the coupled effect of steel corrosion and force on structural behaviour RC columns. However, modelling response corroded columns has received comparatively less attentio...

This paper presents a numerical investigation on seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) cantilever columns under unidirectional and bidirectional excitations. The influence cross-sectional geometry multiple excitations have been examined in this study. An advanced nonlinear finite element model is employed to different failure modes RC excitation. simulates degradation materials cyclic...

This paper examines analytically the design criteria for composite retrofit of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with a short lap splice length steel rebars inside critical region. The advanced potential pseudo-dynamic three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) modelling is utilized to investigate parameters required carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing RC rectangular cross-section ba...

This paper presents a procedure for rehabilitating plastic hinges with damaged/fractured weldable longitudinal rebars in severely damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridge columns and possible improvements regarding connection protection hinge development. Damaged/fractured are replaced new rebar segments, the basis of this approach involves connecting intermediate machined parts to original by w...

some formation, such as " single column," or " double column," or " column of fours," according as the width of the road, and nature of the ground permitted. Any one who has been on active service with Indian Field Hospitals and Bearer Columns, must have observed the want of order that prevails, and how the men straggle all over the line of march. I think that all the men of the A. H. N. C. sho...

Abstract The purpose of this research is to specify the differences between performance cross-laminated timber (CLT) and reinforced concrete (RC) walls. study done by using finite element structural analysis design software, StruSoft FEM-Design, in order model, analyse a reference building located city Gävle Sweden. firstly modelled, analysed designed RC walls then are replaced with CLT In both...

SMA(Shape memory alloys) are unique materials with many excellent properties, such as wear resistance, corrosion high power/weight ratio and biocompatibility, damping, shape effect, super elasticity, etc. In civil engineering, scientists try to use the advantages of SMA by making it into different components they have already made some types that bracing, constrains RC columns, ring springs bas...
