Recycled gypsum powder from waste drywalls combined with fly ash for partial cement replacement in concrete
Recent developments towards sustainable infrastructure have motivated more environmentally conscious construction practices. The concrete industry is known to have a large carbon footprint, which can be decreased by reducing ... -
Reliability Assessment of Concrete-Filled RHS Beam-Column Design Provisions (Preprint)
Revisions were recently proposed to the way in which concrete-filled hollow structural section members are handled in CSA S16. These revisions were based on previous research, comparisons to experiments, and an approximate ... -
Reliability-Based Evaluation of the Stiffness Reduction Factor for Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns
The stiffness of concrete columns is adjusted by a factor referred to as the stiffness reduction factor or the stability resistance factor when utilizing the simplified second-order moment magnification method for designing ... -
Residual Behavior of Sandwich Panels with Flax FRP Faces and Foam Cores after an Impact Event
polymer (FFRP) faces which have been subjected to impact loading will be investigated. The sandwich panels tested in this study were fabricated using a closed cell polyisocyanurate foam with a density of 64 kg/m3 and faces ... -
Rethinking the use of seabed sediment temperature profiles to trace submarine groundwater flow
Submarine groundwater fluxes across the seafloor facilitate important hydrological and biogeochemical exchanges between oceans and seabed sediment, yet few studies have investigated spatially distributed groundwater fluxes ... -
Second-order Analysis of Slender GFRP Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Artificial Neural Network
Analysis of slender concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars is required for design and optimization purposes. Finite element, finite difference, and analytical-numerical tools were ... -
Seismic and aseismic slip pulses driven by thermal pressurization of pore fluid
There are several lines of evidence that suggest that thermal pressurization (TP) of pore fluid within a low-permeability fault core may play the key role in the development of earthquake slip. To elucidate effects of TP ... -
Self-Healing Concrete: A Review of Recent Research Developments and Existing Research Gaps
Self-healing materials are defined as the materials that are able to partially or completely restore their original functionality after they have been damaged. In cementitious materials, such as concrete, this concept is ... -
Self-healing of Engineering Cementitious Composite with Crystalline Admixture Under Different Exposure Conditions
Self-healing mechanisms in concrete can promote healing of cracks with the material produced through the concrete itself. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a special category of HighPerformance Fiber Reinforced ... -
Shear and Bending Behaviour of Short-span Steel-reinforced Concrete-filled FRP Tubes with ±55◦ Fiber Orientation
In this study, steel-reinforced concrete-filled ±55◦ glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) tubes (CFFT) are examined under monotonic loading to understand their shear behaviour. A total of three test specimens with three ... -
Short Concrete Columns Reinforced with GFRP Rebars under Eccentric Loading
In this paper, the compressive performance of short concrete columns reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite rebars is evaluated. A total of fourteen 500 mm long concrete specimens with square ... -
Simplified Material Model for Concrete Containing High-Content of Tire-Derived Coarse Aggregate under Compression Loading
The flexible properties of the shredded rubber tires give rubberized concrete desirable properties such as lower relative density, and better dampening ability, higher toughness, and improved deformability resulting in an ... -
Slender RC Columns Strengthened with a Novel Hybrid Strengthening System of External Longitudinal and Transverse FRPs
In this study, the performance of slender circular concrete columns strengthened with a novel hybrid system of longitudinally bonded prefabricated fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates and transverse FRP wrapping is ... -
Snowmelt infiltration and macropore flow in frozen soils: overview, knowledge gaps, and a conceptual framework
Macropore flow in frozen soils plays a critical role in partitioning snowmelt at the land surface and modulating snowmelt-driven hydrological processes. Previous descriptions of macropore flow processes in frozen soil do ...
