A Comparison of the Bond Characteristics in Conventional and Self-Compacting Concrete, Part I: Experimental Results [PDF]
, 2011 Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a very flowing material that can flow through the reinforcement and fill the formworks without any need of vibration during the concrete placement process.

Applied Element Modelling of Out‐Of‐Plane Instability in Boundary Elements of Thin RC Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent earthquakes in Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) caused extensive damage to buildings featuring reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls, with observed failure modes including out‐of‐plane instability of slender walls. This buckling‐type response under combined in‐plane and out‐of‐plane loading has also been documented in ...

Bond behaviour in Self Compacting Concrete Filled Tubes
, 2012 The paper investigates the bond behavior on slices obtained by circular steel columns (prior to casting) of 131mm internal diameter, 4mm thickness, 50mm height with an embedded length of 40mm. Scope of the test is to push-out the concrete core from the

Deflection behaviour of FRP reinforced concrete flexural members [PDF]
, 2006 The design of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced concrete (RC) can often be governed by the serviceability limit state of deflection. Currently, the evaluation of short-term deflection of FRP RC is undertaken using radically different approaches ...

Effects of Wall‐to‐Floor Interactions on Seismic Response of Platform‐Type CLT Buildings
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Platform‐type cross‐laminated timber (CLT) buildings feature discontinuous wall segments supported by CLT floors. In practice, CLT floors are often treated as rigid diaphragm, yet the wall‐to‐floor interactions (WFIs) associated with flexibility of floors remain insufficiently investigated during seismic performance assessment.

Modelling the loss of steel-concrete bonds in corroded reinforced concrete beams [PDF]
, 2007 The existing stochastic models for deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is extended by adding modelling of “loss of bond” due to corrosion between the reinforcement bars and the surrounding concrete.

Tension stiffening effects in reinforced concrete members [PDF]
, 1985 This thesis is in two parts which are related by the common theme of tension stiffening. Part I develops the concept of a stress-strain envelope to model the behaviour of the concrete in tension below the neutral axis of a reinforced concrete beam.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Self‐centering rocking structures outperform conventional ones since they show zero post‐earthquake damage and excellent recentering; however, their applications remain limited due to concerns that rocking is extremely sensitive and nonrepeatable. This paper investigates the repeatability and parasitic out‐of‐plane motion of controlled rocking

Behaviour of GFRP rebars reinforced concrete elements under elevated temperature and fire
, 2003 PhDIn general, it is expected that concrete structures using Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) rebars as reinforcement could have improved durability compared to normal steel reinforcement because of the corrosion resistance of the rebar. However,

Evaluation and Comparison of Analytical Models to Determine the Bond Characteristics of Steel Fibre Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete [PDF]
, 2011 Steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) can be placed and compacted under its self weight with little or no mechanical vibration. It is at the same time cohesive enough to be casted without segregation or bleeding.
