Cellular concrete: A viable low‐carbon alternative for developing countries in seismic regions?

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the potential of cellular concrete as an environmentally friendly alternative for shear walls based structural systems in seismic‐prone areas. The construction industry significantly contributes to global energy consumption and carbon emissions, mainly through the use of conventional materials like concrete and steel ...

Perspectives on the incorporation of self‐healing in the design practice of reinforced concrete structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Self‐healing concrete, with its ability to autonomously repair damages, holds promise in enhancing its structural durability and resilience. Research on self‐healing concrete in the past decade has advanced in understanding the mechanisms behind healing, exploring various healing agents, and assessing their effectiveness in concrete structures.

Experimental behavior of shear deficient RC beams strengthened with CFRP strips against reversible cyclic earthquake load

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study aims to prevent sudden and brittle shear failures in reinforced concrete beams, which are frequently caused by deficiencies in shear reinforcement. Following the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023, inspections revealed that many reinforced concrete beams suffered severe damage due to design errors, high shear ...

Comprehensive evaluation of early‐age transverse cracking risk in durable RC deck slabs on multi‐span steel girder bridges considering thermal and stepwise construction stresses: A replication study with extension

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study replicates and extends the findings of Zerin et al. regarding the three‐level systematic FEM thermal stress simulation and Ngoc et al. on an effective stepwise construction strategy in the context of cracking mitigation in durable RC deck slabs on multi‐span steel girder bridges.

Shear transfer model for ultra‐high‐performance concrete incorporating fiber bridging mechanism

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high‐performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including high shear strength, partly attributed to the fiber bridging mechanism. However, existing shear transfer models for normal‐strength concrete have not considered the significant contribution of fibers.
