The performance of GFRP (Glass Fiber polymer) bar RC (Reinforced Concrete) circular
columns subjected to lateral impact was experimentally investigated. Sixteen GFRP bar RC …

Concrete has wide applications in civil and military infrastructures. Thorough ballistic
damage evaluation of these structures is crucial to safeguard these structures against …

Bamboo is a natural material with the potential for being used in sustainable construction.
However, uncertainty in the bearing capacity of the bamboo results in nonstandard values …

This study investigates experimentally, numerically, and analytically the performance of
different string materials (Kevlar, synthetic gut, natural gut, and polyester) on badminton …

This article presents a composite tunnel rockfall protection structure (CPRC) employing
galvanized corrugated steel plates as the inner formwork for reinforced concrete structures. It …

This paper is devoted to Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams that can be subjected to
accidental falls of substantial masses (hard impacts at low velocities), such as the beams of …

In recent decades, steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) members under eccentrical tension have
been adopted more frequently in modern buildings due to the constraints of more complex …

This paper presents a pioneering study that developed the first analytical model to analyse
and design reinforced concrete (RC) box girders strengthened by prestressed CFRP plates …

The strength of construction material is a crucial consideration in the process of structural
design and construction. Conventional materials such as concrete or steel have been widely …

Defining the damage and deflection from impact by using only the impact energy could be
misleading due to the effect of impact momentum. In addition, reinforced concrete columns …
