Geopolymer materials, alternatives to cement that are synthesized using industrial byproducts, have emerged as some of the leading champion materials due to their environmentally friendly attributes. They can significantly reduce pollution by utilizi...

The current investigation delved into the seismic analysis, design intricacies, and assessment of the response of elevated steel containment tanks when supported by concentrically braced frames. The primary focus was placed on comprehending the behav...

Monolithic reinforced concrete floor slabs are one of the most common types of building structures, and their optimization is an urgent task. The article presents the methodology for finding the optimal position of point supports under a reinforced c...

In the original publication [1], there were two mistakes in relation to the cited references (within the References section) as follows:Reference 52 (Xin-gang et al [...]

Waste ceramic is produced from different sources and, if not reused, is often disposed of in landfills, contributing to the pressure on landfill capacity and potentially releasing toxins into the surrounding environment as ceramics break down over ti...

This research investigates the potential of utilizing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled sand (RS), derived from crushed concrete cubes, as sustainable alternatives in construction materials. The study comprehensively evaluates the proper...

South Africa is endowed with a wealth of coal-fired power stations that can produce extremely high volumes of fly ash per year exceeding 34 million tonnes. The use of high-volume fly ash (HVFA) binders in the construction sector has the capacity to s...

The stick–slip phenomenon is a jerking motion that can occur while two objects slide over each other with friction. There are several situations in which this phenomenon can be observed: between the slabs of the friction dampers used to mitigat...

A 3D-finite element analysis within the numerical program ABAQUS is adopted in order to simulate the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete beam-column joints and beam-column joints strengthened with CFRP ropes. The suitability of the adopted approa...

Regular monitoring and inspection of military railroad tracks are necessary to ensure the safe transportation of military freight. Manual railroad inspection has drawbacks and limitations that can impact accuracy and efficiency. This study introduces...

This paper describes the development of a dual hazard spectrum for use in the dynamic analysis of steel frames subject to the combined effects of earthquakes and wind. The proposed spectrum is obtained by combining the power spectra of earthquakes an...

The intriguing rocking behavior of foundations has attracted the attention of both researchers and professionals, owing to its beneficial characteristics such as energy absorption and self-adjusting capability. This paper offers a thorough examinatio...

Soil concrete is a material produced by mixing the soil at the site with a hydraulic binder. This paper aims to study the influence of the nature of binder on the physical and mechanical properties of soil concrete. For the mixtures, three types of s...
