An application of simulated annealing to the optimum design of reinforced concrete retaining structures [PDF]
This paper reports on the application of a simulated annealing algorithm to the minimum cost design of reinforced concrete retaining structures. Cantilever retaining walls are investigated, being representative of reinforced concrete retaining structures

Experimental theoretical modelling of concrete shrinkage in massive structures [PDF]
In spite of the high culture of modern construction, the majority of massive structures erected in different countries of the world cannot avoid shrinkage cracks during the curing process, which negatively affect both the stiffness and durability of such

The behaviour of reinforced concrete slabs in fire [PDF]
In this paper a robust model is presented based on the previous layer procedure developed by the author to also take into account the effects of concrete spalling on the behaviour of concrete slabs under fire conditions.

Flexural strength of concrete prism strengthened using CFRP with modified mortar [PDF]
Reinforced concrete (RC) is a good durable material that commonly used in construction compared to others. However, reinforced concrete structures may be damaged and are suffering from various deteriorations because of overloading and an inadequacy of ...

Influence of shear reinforcement corrosion on the performance of under-reinforced concrete beams [PDF]
The in-service performance of reinforced concrete beams can be severely affected through cor-rosion of the steel reinforcement when it becomes subjected to harsh corrosive environments containing chlo-rides and carbon dioxide.

Predictive Stress Modeling of Resilient Modulus in Sandy Subgrade Soils
The mechanical properties of pavement materials are crucial to the design and performance of flexible pavements. One of the most commonly used measures of these properties is the resilient modulus (Er). Many different models were developed to predict the
