Time-Dependent Deformations of Eccentrically Loaded Reinforced Concrete Columns

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, 2018
If reinforced concrete columns and walls in high-rise buildings are subjected to axial load for a sustained duration, long-term lateral deformation (or curvature) as well as axial shortening increase over time due to the creep and shrinkage of concrete ...

Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Confined Masonry Walls With Window Openings Strengthened by Using Hybrid-Fiber Modified Reactive Powder Concrete

Frontiers in Materials, 2022
Unreinforced masonry structures are vulnerable to seismic action, especially with window openings. Therefore, a strengthening technique needs to be proposed to improve the seismic performance of the confined masonry walls with window openings.

Effects of Wetting–Drying Cycles on the Macro and Micro Properties of the Cement-Stabilized Soil with Curing Agent

Buildings
Cement-stabilized soil is a commonly used pavement base/bottom base material. Adding a suitable curing agent to cement-stabilized soil can effectively reduce the dosage of cement, meet the strength requirements, and also greatly improve its water ...
