Timber use is becoming more appealing in the recent years especially 'exposed timber'; however, the information available on the performance of engineered timber after fire is …
Prestressing steel is commonplace in critical infrastructure like bridges. These structures are of significant societal and economic importance, and any disruptions affecting their service …
Resilient design requires information about a structure's response to a variety of exposures such that systems can be implemented to prevent unacceptable losses. For the case of …
Concrete floors should be diagnosed in order to obtain the proper durability. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, which have numerous advantages and are very effective for in situ …
