the effect of underground cavities in site seismic response was studied over the subway tunnels that are under construction in the city of karaj, using ambient noise measurements as well as numerical modeling. the idea for this research comes from the observation of differences in experimental site transfer function, calculated on more than 100 locations of the city, for the areas near the unde...

Accepting the challenge of the future in the field of civil engineering smart structure applications, the province of Manitoba is undertaking the responsibility of constructing the first bridge in Canada totally prestressed and reinforced for shear by cru:bon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) reinforcement. Portion of the concrete deck slab is also reinforced exclusively by FRP reinforcements. Th...

Selecting appropriate bonding technique is crucial for strengthening and repairing concrete structures as different bonding techniques have different performances. A state-of–the-art review of different bonding techniques that is epoxy bonding technique, prestressed strengthening technique, unbonded anchored technique/mechanically fastened technique using CFRP is dealt and the corresponding adv...

Continuous tunneling using a tunnel-boring machine is very popular method when it comes to the construction of large tunnel projects. The use precast reinforced concrete elements, called tubbings, highly economical way secure post excavation. Unfortunately, loss load-bearing capacity has been observed in past joints between tubbings. Reasons for that are among others required reduction cross se...

Abstract A bulk volume of waste tires, an underrated global resource, is disposed in landfills worldwide. Extracting recycled steel fibers from these tires evolving trend nowadays. The outcomes concrete having sourced end-of-life are alike industrial fibers. Accordingly, the attention researchers focused nowadays on using alternative place concrete. In current study, review focuses recycle tire...
