Side‐by‐side long‐term performance assessment of GFRP‐ and steel‐reinforced concrete bridge decks

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion‐induced deterioration of steel‐reinforced bridge decks is a service life concern, especially in cold regions, where the use of deicing chemicals is common. To address this issue, glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has received growing attention, owing to the GFRP's resistance to conventional corrosion.

Structural testing and analytical model of Reinforced Concrete (RC) prisms with 3D‐printed concrete permanent formwork under compressive loading

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...

A probabilistic framework for modeling chloride‐induced corrosion and related load‐deformation behaviour of reinforced concrete

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Chloride‐exposed reinforced‐concrete structures often suffer localized corrosion, so corrosion initiation time and average steel loss are poor indicators of structural performance. This paper presents a spatially resolved, proof‐of‐concept framework that couples diffusion‐based chloride ingress and initiation with a localized morphology model ...

Eco‐ductile design of RC columns: Resolving the conflict between embodied carbon and curvature ductility

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Reducing embodied carbon emissions in structural design is of critical importance in combating global climate change. However, the increased material usage and heavy confinement reinforcement required to meet high ductility demands in reinforced concrete columns directly conflict with environmental sustainability goals.

Quantifying the embodied‐carbon premium of RC transfer beams via automated design

open access: yesStructural 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
