The behaviour of reinforced concrete beams under cyclic temperature profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
On a hot summer day, high levels of solar radiation are incident on concrete bridge decks, causing non-linear variations in temperature through the depths of the structures. The changes in temperature lead to axial expansion and curvature of decks.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

On Design and Development of Wood-Concrete Bridge Structure

open access: yesВестник СибАДИ
Introduction. Timber as a structural material for bridge spans has some advantages compared to currently widespread reinforced concrete or steel. New technological and structural forms of timber spans should comply with modern requirements for load ...

Strength of slender reinforced concrete walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 1983
This study is concerned with the behaviour of single span slender reinforced concrete members with depth/span ratios equal to and larger than 1. A series-of deep panels with depth/span ratios between I and 4 was studied experimentally.

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Reinforced concrete bridges: effects due to corrosion and concrete young modulus variation

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
Most of the Brazilian bridges of federal road network are made of reinforced concrete and are more than 30 years old, with little information about the mechanical properties of their constitutive materials.

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

DAMAGE TO CONCRETE BRIDGES DUE TO REINFORCEMENT CORROSION

open access: yesTRANSPORT, 2002
Corrosion of reinforcement initiated by concrete carbonation and chloride contamination is the most common type of deterioration of concrete bridges. Based on the author's experience a number of cases is reported in which the corrosion of ordinary and prestressed reinforcement as well as the causes and consequences of deterioration observed are ...
