Building Information Modelling (BIM) is the main tool of the ongoing digital transformation in the engineering and construction industry. At the same time sustainability requirements are enhanced in modern regulations and codes. A literature review w...

Forensic investigation of concrete deterioration requires transforming macroscopic symptoms into testable hypotheses and combining complementary analytical methods. Two diagnostic case studies are presented. In pre-stressed railway sleepers, pop-out...

This study examines alkali-activated concrete (AAC) containing 15 wt.% wood biomass ash (WBA) as a partial precursor replacement for precast street furniture. The bench was produced using ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), WBA, and graded...

Post-tensioned reinforcement can be used in different structural arrangements. Bonded internal tendons are usually grouted with cement mortar, whereas internal or external unbonded tendons use wax or grease. This selection significantly affects crack...

Extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) enables geometries that are difficult to realize using conventional formwork, but their translation into load-bearing building systems requires coordinated consideration of structural design, material behav...

This paper presents an integrated, multispectral methodology for the technical condition assessment of prestressed concrete pylons in extradosed bridges. It addresses the challenges associated with inspecting such elements, which are highly exposed t...

This paper presents progressive trends of applying BIM technology in the education of future engineers and architects at different levels of study. It shows the potential and importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in digital designing on the e...

This paper presents the use of prestressing as a design tool for solving complex structural requirements in the reconstruction of Hotel Marjan in Split. The architectural concept includes long spans, restricted structural depths, swimming pools, sign...

The growing number of decommissioned wind turbine blades (dWTBs), made of fiberglass composites, poses a major waste challenge. This study investigates using raw-crushed dWTBs as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates in C35/45 structural concre...

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation related to the influence of opening arrangement on the cyclic response of reduced-scale hybrid steel–concrete walls incorporating steel-fiber-reinforced concrete. The experimental...

This paper reports on the results of the experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the bond–slip relation between bonded CFRP strip and concrete. The experimental program was conducted on three hinged beam specimens that were prepared...

Reinforced concrete frames with masonry infill walls are widely used, and both the RC elements and the infill masonry significantly influence the structural response. Accurate finite element modeling of the interaction between masonry and the RC skel...

This paper investigates the potential of utilising recycled clay brick powder, recycled concrete powder and limestone filler as supplementary cementitious materials at replacement ratios of 10% and 20%. The experimental programme encompassed an analy...

Limestone calcined clay cement (LC³ or LC3) is a promising low-clinker and potentially economical binder that combines Portland clinker, calcined clay, limestone and gypsum in a chemically synergistic system. This review critically synthesizes publis...

The paper presents tensile tests of hybrid steel–concrete joints for discrete reticulated timber structures. The hybrid steel–concrete joint consists of short steel tubes filled with polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete. The anticipate...

A considerable proportion of the existing reinforced concrete buildings were designed according to older seismic provisions and are characterised by insufficient transverse reinforcement, inadequate confinement, and limited deformation capacity. The...

Early-age concrete shrinkage strongly influences crack formation, serviceability, and durability. Although shrinkage mechanisms and prediction methods are well documented, measured early-age deformations can differ substantially from standard predict...

Many concrete arch bridges in Croatia are located in seismically active areas. The last two strong earthquakes that struck central Croatia prompted consideration of the seismic resistance of several dozen arch bridges situated on important traffic ro...

Through different concepts of bridge design, we can significantly influence its seismic behavior. Earthquake energy can be either concentrated on one critical element (causing it to suffer the most damage), distributed among more of them equally (to...
