Effect of Construction Void Defects on Flexural and Axial Load Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Members
(2018-05)A common construction defect in reinforced concrete is honeycombing, which consists of loosely connected coarse aggregates with little mortar in-between them over a small volume located within a structural member. Such a ... -
Evaluating the Structural Performance and Durability of CNT and Polyethylene Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
(2016-11)Concrete, despite being one of the most produced materials in the world, still has weaknesses and drawbacks. The major concern of cementitious materials in structural applications is their quasi-brittle behavior, which ... -
Lateral Confinement of RC Columns by Internal Structural Steel Strip Bands
(2016-12)The most common type of lateral reinforcement in reinforced concrete (RC) columns is rectilinear steel ties. Ties provide confinement to the concrete core increasing its compressive strength and ductility. Past studies ... -
Strength and Ductility of Axially Loaded RC Short Columns Confined with CFRP and GFRP Wraps
(2013-01)With the evolution of technology, construction industry has witnessed enormous advancement in the production of concrete and construction materials. Such materials have helped the community to produce structures that consume ...
