Cracking simulation in concrete-like structures is the subject of numerous investigations of
computational kind, in which different modeling techniques based on either smeared or …

Discontinuous pouring of concrete members leads to the formation of cold joints, thus
increasing the risk of structural cracking. In this study, a three-point bending test was …

Studies show that lining cracks are one of the most common anomalies that occur in the
operational tunnels. Therefore, investigating the performance of the cracked linings is of …

With the advent of instrumented nanoindentation, mechanical properties of cement paste
composites such as elastic modulus, hardness, creep have been explored at micro-and …

This paper investigates the effect of pouring interval on the fracture performance and fracture
characteristics of concrete beam with cold joints through three-point bending experiments …

The mixed mode I-II crack propagation process in concrete subjected to quasi-static
conditions has been extensively investigated. However, in engineering practice, many …

Previous studies have pointed to a high correlation between the voids behind linings and
cracks, but no research has focused on the mechanical properties of the linings after the …

Floor heave-induced failure is a primary type of failure in the inverted arches of tunnels. In
this study, the crack propagation behaviours in an inverted arch during floor heave were …

Theory of planned behavior and GEM framework – How can cognitive traits for entrepreneurship
be used by incubators and accelerators? | Emerald Insight Books and journals Case studies …

Concrete structures usually contain cracks or microcracks. Under dynamic loading, such as
impacts, blasts and earthquakes, these cracks may initiate and propagate, weakening …
