The flexural behaviour of steel beams significantly affects the structural performance of the steel frame structures. In particular, the flexural overstrength (namely the ratio between the maximum bending moment and the ...

Bond deterioration between the reinforcement and surrounding concrete is one of the crucial reasons for the structural degradation in the steel-concrete composite structures. The assessment of bond deterioration due to ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most commonly used composite materials in construction industry. Corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete is a crucial issue leading deterioration of RC structure. In this ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hardened characteristics of the self-compacting concretes made with cold bond fly ash lightweight aggregates. Binary and ternary use of fly ash (FA) and silica ...

The current study presents an experimental study conducted on the effectiveness of volcanic pumice powder (VP) on the fresh properties of self-compacting concretes (SCCs) with and without silica fume (SF). In the first ...

In this paper, effect of steam and water curing on the compressive strength development and transport properties such as water sorptivity, rapid chloride ion permeability, and gas permeability of concretes containing various ...

This paper reports the results of an analytical study to predict the edge breakout shear capacity of single adhesive anchors post-installed into uncracked hardened concrete. For this purpose, an experimental database for ...

In this paper, a soft-computing based study aimed to estimate the available rotation capacity of cold-formed rectangular and square hollow section (RHS-SHS) steel beams is described and novel mathematical models based on ...

This paper presents the results obtained from an experimental study conducted to investigate the effect of shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) and steel fiber addition on the performance properties of lightweight aggregate ...

Circular hollow section (CHS) steel beams are widely used in both mechanical and civil applications. CHS members are mainly subjected to bending. The flexural overstrength factor (namely the ratio between the ultimate ...
