Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) have been developed as replacement materials for steel
bars and tendons in concrete structural members for decades. These materials offer …

Infrastructures and industrial buildings are commonly exposed to aggressive environments
and damaged by corrosion. In prestressed reinforced concrete structures, the potential risks …

This paper presents an experimental study and theoretical analysis on corroded
prestressing tendons and corroded prestressed concrete beams. 68 steel strands and steel …

This paper presents an experimental and theoretical study on the corrosion cracking
behavior of reinforced concrete under freeze-thaw cycles. Accelerated corrosion tests were …

Millions of in-service concrete bridges around the world are exceeding their design life.
Corrosion may lead to a sudden fracture of prestressing steels, and understanding the …

The collapse failure occurs occasionally during the construction process of a shallow tunnel
in gully terrain. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the collapse failure …

In this study, a new method based on the random field model (RFM) of corrosion depth was
developed to investigate the effect of corrosion randomness on the constitutive relationship …

Karst landforms were widely distributed all over the world, and they were mainly distributed
in the Southwest and Southeast regions in China. However, tunnel construction in giant …

Techniques including pre‐grouting, long pipe roof, and parameter optimization were
employed to ensure the safety of loess metro tunnelling under an existing glass building …

As a green and clean product, plant fiber has become a hot spot in the research of concrete.
However, the weak interfacial properties of plant fibers with cement matrix restricted the …
