Geopolymers are novel binders and are sustainable alternatives for conventional Portland cement. Geopolymers have emerged as a phenomenon of exceptional interest for the construction industry due to their excellent mechanical ...

This chapter presents the experimental procedure for shear strengthening of RC T-beams strengthened in shear with GFRP sheet. The job is performed primarily in two stages. The first stage consists of selection and testing ...

Temperature profile and corresponding stresses in concrete pavement were investigated on prototype scale. Four prototypes were considered, conventional and 25%, 50% and 75% of fine-Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) inclusive ...

The process of evaluating tenders is a multi-criteria decision making process in which project performance is influenced by cost, time and quality. It involves a wide range of criteria, which are not only quantitative but ...

This article describes experimental and numerical analyses of eccentrically loaded over the axially loaded circular concrete filled double-skinned steel tubular (CFDST) short columns. Tests on circular CFDST short columns ...

To retrofit a fire damaged structural element, it is important to understand the extent of thermal exposure of such structural element. It is presumed that the extent of damage of fire affected structural elements may be ...

The linear and non-linear thermal stability characteristics of three-phase randomly distributed carbon nanotube (CNT)–reinforced fiber composite (RD-CNTRFC) shell panels are explored in the present study. Nonlinear kinematics ...

To a practicing foundation engineer, the performance of batter pile under seismic conditions still remains a questionable prospect. The contradictory findings reported by various investigators with regard to the performance ...

New concepts and techniques are replacing traditional methods of water quality parameter measurement systems. This paper introduces a cyber-physical system (CPS) approach for water quality assessment in a distribution ...

Recent cases of damage to mountain tunnels have raised concerns about the seismic performance of underground structures. The damaged sections have been majorly observed in highly fractured and weathered geological regions. ...
