Abstract Corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures is associated with a reduction of the rebar diameter, loss interfacial bond, cracking, and eventual spalling probable collapse structure. The negative effects corrosion on structural safety, durability, longevity imposes significant costs national economy. Therefore, planned non-destructive testing (NDT) essential to enhance safety econo...

Ductile design and detailing provisions were revised in 2016 by the Bureau of Indian Standards. It introduced Strong Column Weak Beam Provision (SCWB) for beam-column joint. In this paper, an attempt is done to investigate influence SCWB provision on Longitudinal Rebar Quantity (LRQ) typical columns i.e. Corner Column, Edge Middle seismic Zones III, IV, V six-story buildings. Story-wise variati...

background at altnagelvin, a district general hospital in northern ireland, we have observed that a significant number of hip fracture admissions are later readmitted for treatment of other medical conditions. these readmissions place increasing stress on the already significant burden that orthopedic trauma poses on national health services. objectives the aim of this study was to review a ser...

As a novel civil engineering material, Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has attracted more and attention due to its strain-hardening characteristics, good post-cracking resistance unique properties. Bonding between rebar great effect on the mechanical behavior of structural members. In this paper, direct pull-out tests were conducted understand bond ECC rebar. The test parameters include...

Civil infrastructure especially the rigid pavements have been increasingly covering a huge part of the infrastructure around us with the demand of rapid urbanization. The quality and condition assessment of it after its construction is an important issue with the engineers. The need for defect diagnosis and verification of their various design parameters is vital and important for quality contr...
