Durability of recycled aggregate concrete
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, 2024)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyRecycled aggregates (RA) are now well-known to be suitable for structural concrete production. The employment of RA (obtained from concrete or ceramic waste) in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) production as a structural ... -
A discussion on the reliability of prEN1992-1-1:2021 shear strength provisions for fibre reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement
(Springer, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Eurocode 2 for the design of concrete structures (EN1992-1-1:2004) is undergoing a revision that will lead to the publication of the second generation of this code to be used across all CEN member countries. Therefore, ... -
On the seismic design of ductile RC buildings considering soil-structure interaction effects
(Springer, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policySoil-structure interaction (SSI) may condition the seismic performance of buildings in different ways. Previous studies show that SSI effects on structural response parameters may be either beneficial or detrimental, ... -
Agile analysis of life-cycle damage cost of concrete frame structures under earthquake
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessSeismic events can produce damage and collapse of constructions, impacting the expected life-cycle cost and out-of-service time. Past seismic events showed that socioeconomic consequences at community scale are dramatic, ... -
Carbonation resistance of recycled aggregate concrete using different cement types
(Springer, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper describes the influence of the cement type and the use of 50% coarse RCA on the carbonation resistance of concrete. Twelve concrete mixtures were produced using four types of cement (CEM I, CEM IIAL, CEM IIAS ... -
SP-357—8: Punching-shear strength of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to concentric transverse loads and in-plane tensile forces
(American Concrete Institute (ACI), 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyReinforced concrete slabs can be subjected simultaneously to transverse loads and in-plane tensile forces, as it occurs in top slabs of continuous box girder bridges at intermediate supports, or in flat slabs supported on ... -
Influence of treated mixed recycled aggregates in concrete properties
(Springer, 2023)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyExtensive construction and demolition waste (CDW) is generated during the construction process. That waste is currently deposited in landfills. It is necessary to produce and employ mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) in low ... -
Reliability of shear strength models for fibre reinforced concrete members without shear reinforcement
(Springer, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe scope and amount of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) structural applications have seen significant increases. This means that safe and reliable ultimate limit state (ULS) models are necessary for FRC structural members. ... -
Water-washed fine and coarse recycled aggregates for real scale concretes production in Barcelona
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Open AccessThe use of recycled aggregate to reduce the over-exploitation of raw aggregates is necessary. This study analysed and categorised the properties of water-washed, fine and coarse, recycled aggre-gates following European ... -
Dynamic investigation of cultural heritage buildings for seismic safety asssessment
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyCultural heritage buildings are prone to failures when subjected to seismic events, and recent earthquakes worldwide resulted in many losses of these buildings. Therefore, there is a need for methodologies for assessing ... -
European experience with seawater concrete
(CRC Press, 2021)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of seawater for concrete production is not common also in Europe now, even for the production of plain concrete exposed to a marine environment. However, in recent decades, certain international and national seawater ... -
Stiffening solution of façade frames for reducing the eccentricity in plan-irregular buildings
(Springer, 2022)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyAdjusting to architectonic and urbanistic constraints in dense cities frequently require plan irregularities in structures. One recurrent case is the combination of a frame in the façade, to allow parking access, with ...
