Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the numerical modeling of internal tendon breaks in prestressed concrete structures and evaluates the key parameters affecting accuracy. A combined approach is followed, involving global sensitivity analysis via the Elementary Effects Method and subsequent model calibration using experimental data from distributed fiber‐

Investigation of digitally produced, interlocking concrete blocks for a modular slab construction [PDF]
3D concrete printing has the potential to improve the cost, material efficiency and construction time. Combining the advantages of 3D concrete printing with modular construction enables the principle of topological interlocking of three-dimensional (non ...

Axial behaviour of precast concrete panels with hollow composite reinforcing systems
, 2021 This study investigated the axial behaviour of precast concrete panels with hollow composite reinforcing systems (CRSs). These systems were provided to create voids, reduce the concrete and the self-weight of the panels.

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Hollow Concrete Block Infilled Reinforced Concrete Buildings
International Research Journal of Innovations in Engineering and Technology, 2022 Masonry infills are usually treated as nonstructural elements in buildings, and their interaction with the bounding frame is often ignored in analysis and design of reinforced concrete structures. The main aim of this study is to develop a seismic fragility curves showing the probability of exceeding a damage limit state for a given structure type ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Grouted sleeve connectors (GSCs) are widely used in precast/prefabricated concrete structures. To ensure force transfer, connectors are often overdesigned in length. This practice has an unintended consequence of reducing the plastic deformation capacity of the connection region and hence the displacement ductility of the precast structure as ...

Shear behaviour of hollow precast concrete-composite structures
, 2021 Hollow core concrete-panels are prone to shear failure due to collapse of the voids. In this study, the shear behaviour of hollow precast concretecomposite structures (HPCCSs) reinforced with steel bars and composite reinforcing system (CRS) were ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Automating bridge inspections requires more than detecting individual damage instances. It demands systems capable of describing, contextualizing, and interpreting damage in an inspection‐relevant manner. Conventional computer vision approaches, such as object detection and segmentation, primarily address visual recognition tasks and are ...
