Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a developing concrete and today is increasing to interest using it in structures due to its advantages such as high-compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, highly durability and low-permeability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide models for prediction of nonlinear behavior of this material. This study is aimed to investigate the tension-stiffen...

The usefulness of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in various civil engineering applications is indisputable. Fiber reinforced concrete has so far been successfully used in slabs on grade, shotcrete, architectural panels, precast products, offshore structures, structures in seismic regions, thin and thick repairs, crash barriers, footings, hydraulic structures and many other applications. This p...

This paper presents the application of smart control technology to reinforced concrete systems for high impact force attenuation. The smart reinforced control system is developed through the integration of reinforced concrete beams, smart control devices, sensors, and signal processors. Various combinations of input and output signals are applied to the smart reinforced concrete beams: impact f...

In tall and very tall reinforced concrete buildings, long term column shortening due to creep and shrinkage affects the service life behavior of structural elements. Creep-induced column shortening depends on the axial stress level in the column cross sections and on its evolution in time. For this reason, the construction method and phases must be taken into account as a key factor in defining...

this paper presents the results of analytical studies concerning the flexuralstrengthening of reinforced concrete beams by external bonding of high-strength lightweightcarbon fiber reinforced plastic (cfrp) plates to tension face of the beam. three groups of beamswere tested analytically and compared with existing experimental results. results of the numericalanalyses showed that, although addi...
