Experimental assessment of column rectangularity in flat‐slab slab–column connections
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents an experimental investigation of the punching shear behavior of seven 3.00 m × 3.00 m × 0.20 m flat slabs without shear reinforcement, supported by internal rectangular columns. The column side lengths were varied to obtain aspect ratios, cmax/cmin, from 1.67 to 4.00, while the flexural reinforcement and overall slab ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract On February 6, 2023, southeastern Türkiye was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes (Mw: 7.7 and Mw: 7.6) along the East Anatolian Fault Zone, causing extensive structural failures and significant loss of life. This study evaluates the seismotectonic characteristics of the sequence, analyzes strong ground motion data against the Turkish ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The increasing use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) offers significant environmental benefits by reducing construction and demolition waste; however, its fracture performance and damage evolution under elevated temperatures remain insufficiently understood, particularly when recycled aggregates are derived from metakaolin modified parent ...

Quantifying the embodied‐carbon premium of RC transfer beams via automated design
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Transfer structures in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings enable architectural flexibility but often increase material use and embodied carbon. This study introduces an automated framework to quantify the embodied‐carbon premium associated with such systems. For each parametric configuration, two equivalent RC frames—one regular and one with a
