The present study examines the new generation of concrete. Concrete has long been a major problem, is its ductility. Traditionally, remembering the words of concrete, compressive strength also comes to mind. Compressive strength is not only parameter of necessary and sufficient for a material. Concrete is basically brittle material. By adding the steel in this material is an attempt to ductile ...

The geometric analysis and the design execution process of springs starred vault that covers Chapel Lonja de los Mercaderes in Valencia (Spain), built late 15th century is subject study research this paper. other vaults are also mentioned, such as one covered chapter house Valldigna monastery (Simat, Valencia) or those church San Bartolomé Jávea (Alicante). geometry basket arches start from spr...

Attack and disintegration of concrete structures under the influence of aggressive fluids, wet gases, etc. are understood as corrosion of concrete. The corrosion of concrete is a chemical, colloidchemical process, yet often a physico-chemical one, while that of reinforced concrete supported oil platforms are subjected to marine environment in the Persian Gulf and therefore corroded. In the pres...

The effects of adding Nano-Silica particles on the compressive strength and water permeability of concrete and its comparison with that of Micro-Silica were investigated in this work. The effect of combination of Nano- silica and Micro-silica were also studied in this work, which resulted in an increase in compressive strength of concrete in comparison with other concrete specimens tested in th...

In the Present study, attempt will be made to propose a new method for prediction of long-term essential creep of concrete utilizing some short-term creep tests under high temperature. To do so, regarding the similarities between essential creep of concrete and creep in viscoelastic materials, the time–temperature equivalence relation in viscoelastic materials is evaluated for concrete. This re...

one important application of fiber reinforced polymer (frp) is to confine concrete as frp jackets in seismic retrofit process of reinforced concrete structures. confinement can improve concrete properties such as compressive strength and ultimate axial strain. for the safe and economic design of frp jackets, the stress-strain behavior of frp-confined concrete under monotonic and cyclic compress...

aquaculture is among the oldest occupations of human being. over the past quarter of century, the aquaculture industry has grown rapidly. the effect of water containing sodium sulfate on long term compressive strength of concrete of fishing ponds and channels is investigated in this paper. aim of this paper was to analyze the strength of concrete channels and of aquaculture which are in direct ...

Brittleness, which was the inherent weakness in High Strength Concrete (HSC), can be avoided by reinforcing the concrete with discontinuous fibers. Reinforcing HSC with more than one fiber is advantageous in an overall improvement of the mechanical performance of the composite. In this experimental study, Hybrid Fiber Reinforced High Strength Concrete (HyFR-HSC) mixes were formed by blending si...
