In the first stage of the paper, the effect of binder content, curing temperature and curing time on the compressive strength of light-weight geopolymer mortar (LWGM) was investigated. The base materials used for LWGM are ...

Even though aggregate constitutes major volume in geopolymer concrete, only limited study related to this parameter has been reported. This paper presents the summary of study carried out to understand the influence of ...

The behaviour of steel frames is highly influenced by the beam-column connections. Traditionally, Steel frames were usually designed assuming that connections are ideally pinned or fully rigid. A semi-rigid connection, ...

The use of fibers in Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures may improve the properties of concrete; like reducing the shrinkage strain and increasing the tensile, flexural, and bond strength. This article presents an experimental ...

Calculating the ultimate load of a framed column in sway structures involves, in the currently used design method, the calculation of the column effective length and utilizing the interaction formulae or tables. Therefore ...

Optimization in its wide sense can be used to solve many engineering problems and to find the best solutions so that designers can gain a maximum benefit from the available resources. In this research a nonlinear Finite ...

This paper reports the results of a study conducted to investigate the behaviour of steel cap plate connections. In the analysis and design, connections are characterized as either rigid or pinned and between these two ...

This article presents the effect of different sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations and sodium silicate-to-sodium hydroxide (Na2SiO3/NaOH) ratio on the fresh and some hardened properties of lightweight geopolymer mortar ...

This paper reports the results of a study conducted to investigate the effects of rice husk powder (RHP) on the rheological properties and the fluidity of grout mixtures. The experiments were carried out with the grout ...

This study evaluates the effect of waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) granules on the fresh, mechanical and absorption characteristics of self-consolidating concretes (SCCs). Fine aggregates were replaced with different ...
