Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

Prediction of Thermal Behavior of Pervious Concrete Pavements in Winter [PDF]
Because application of pervious concrete pavement (PCPs) has extended to cold-climate regions of the United States, the safety and mobility of PCP installations during the winter season need to be maintained.

Parametric Analysis of Composite Slab with Steel Bar Trusses at Construction Stages
To clarify the structural behavior of composite slab with steel bar trusses at key construction stages including hoisting and concrete post-pouring, a composite beam bridge with a main span of 60 m in Georgia’s E60 Highway was investigated.
