In this paper, a novel strategy of concrete curing was developed by solar thermal energy
storage based on phase change material (PCM), in order to prevent concrete from frost …

Long-span cable-supported bridges are flexible and prone to significant deformations under
temperature, wind, and vehicle loads. Such large deformations induce frequent longitudinal …

Recently, significant progress has been observed in high-rise buildings, positively affecting
the economy and society. Since the damage and failure of these structures could cause …

This paper presents a novel self-sensing steel fiber-reinforced polymer composite bar
(SFCB). The SFCB combines damage control, self-sensing, and structural reinforcement …

Infrastructures are frequently vulnerable to sustained cyclic loads and structural vibration.
The accumulated cyclic stresses will induce fatigue in the structures and contribute to their …

As a common appearance defect of concrete bridges, cracks are important indices for bridge
structure health assessment. Although there has been much research on crack identification …

In this paper, a cement-based acoustic emission sensor is embedded in reinforced concrete,
and the corrosion damage inside the concrete is activated by swinging ball impact. The …

Concrete linings containing cold joint defects may crack or detach under the aerodynamic
fatigue loading generated by high-speed train operation, which posing a serious threat to …
