The concrete industry has long been adding discrete fibers to cementitious materials to
compensate for their (relatively) low tensile strengths and control possible cracks. Extensive …

Ageing structures located in moderate to high seismicity regions are exposed to multiple
natural stressors during their lifetime. Large earthquake events coupled with environmental …

The transport properties obtained from the accelerated tests on the concrete mixtures that
contain shrinkage-compensating cement have indicated that addressing the issue of …

Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), which improves mechanical properties after
cracking, became an interesting material for reinforced concrete structures. However, there …

Floods can lead to substantial direct damages to transportation infrastructure assets and
cause significant indirect losses to communities that rely on the transportation network. This …

Multiple hazards, such as, earthquake, strong wind, snow, flood-induced scour, tsunami,
landslide, rain, blast, explosion, fire outbreak, etc. have caused extensive global …

The deterioration of reinforced concrete bridges due to environmental stressors is proven to
adversely affect their strength and durability over time. This primarily originates from the …

The coupled effects of corrosion and earthquake action on bridges piers are investigated in
this study. Starting from a literature review to collect existing corrosion models, a bridge …

A transportation network is a critical infrastructure system that forms the backbone for
economy, serves the everyday life, and is critical to national safety. Holistic design of such a …

In this study, a wedge tensioning anchorage device, which enables strengthening of square
reinforced concrete (RC) columns with multi-layer prestressed carbon fiber reinforced …
