The mathematical study known as queueing theory has recently become a major point of interest for many government agencies and private companies for increasing efficiency. One such application is vehicle queueing at an international port-of-entry (PO...

Tensile strength is a crucial property for the function, safety and durability of all concrete structures. The general procedure to assess the tensile properties of concrete from existing structures is to perform indirect tests and predict the tensil...

This paper is aimed at serving the needs of structural engineering researchers who are seeking accelerograms that realistically represent the time histories of earthquake ground in support of their own investigations. Every record is identified with...

Reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are commonly used to provide buildings with lateral and torsional resistance against the actions of wind and earthquakes. In low-to-moderate seismic regions, it is not unusual to find a single peripheral core wall...

This paper aims to show the application of site-specific response spectra in the analysis of buildings that are supported by lightly reinforced precast concrete walls. Previous surveys on load-bearing precast reinforced concrete walls in multi-storey...

This paper aims at giving structural designers guidance on how to transform seismic demand on a building structure from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) in an expedient manner, taking into account amplification of the torsional actions....

The penetration of ions plays an important role in the durability of concrete structures. This study aims to establish the feasibility of using dental X-ray equipment to measure the concentration and penetration of iodide within cementitious systems....

The construction industry holds the worst safety record compared to other industrial sectors, and approximately 88% of accidents result in worker injury. Meanwhile, after the development and wide application of deep learning in recent years, image pr...

The durability of concrete structures is essential for reliable infrastructure. Although many deterioration models are available, they are rarely applied in situ. For existing structures in need of repair or durability assessment, this is also the ca...

One of the most common pavement distresses in flexible pavement is rutting, which is mainly caused by heavy wheel load and various other factors. The prediction of rutting depth is important for safe travel and the long-term performance of pavements....

During the first filling, the reservoir is gradually raised in multiple stages. At each stage, the filling is paused to allow adequate time for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the dam and its foundation. The analysis of the monitored beh...

This paper is aimed at giving structural designers guidance on how to make use of elastic site-specific response spectra for the dynamic modal analysis of a structure in support of its structural design. The use of response spectra in support of the...

This study presents finite element analysis of double split tee (DST) connections with high-strength steel bolts and coupled split tee sections, to evaluate various cyclic response parameters and elements. The investigation included quantifying conne...

The application of Accelerated Bridge Construction methods (ABC) to build, renovate and rehabilitate aging bridges is most likely to reduce the economic and social impacts of projects. This is especially relevant in countries with severe winter clima...

The present research deals with the cyclic and standard pull-out resistance of deformed steel bars embedded in lightweight and normal concrete. This paper is a continuation of a previous paper, where the experimental results are detailed. In the pres...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

This study discusses the torsional capacity of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) reinforced concrete beams under pure torsion based on the experimental findings available in the literature. The experimental data on RCA specimens were collected and comp...

Nowadays, due to environmental changes, the condition of buildings can be in danger. In order to protect the performance of existing buildings, it is important to investigate the seismic behaviour of building structure subjected to earthquake excitat...

This study models concrete as a multi-phase system that comprises the mortar, coarse aggregates, and interfacial transition zones (ITZs). The diffusivity and the volumetric fraction of these phases are considered to propose a three-phase diffusion&nd...

This study presents analysis of two types of experimental test related to the crack propagation in concrete specimens subjected to high-sustained loading levels and quasi-static loadings. The concept of the equivalent crack length is introduced to pe...
