Experimental analysis of bolted connections for precast concrete walls under cyclic tensile loading

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Dry‐bolted connections in precast wall structures simplify the assembly process and offer significant advantages in terms of construction speed and cost. In fact, the reduction of the required workmanship, compared to wet connections, makes this solution highly competitive.

Experimental and design‐oriented research on fiber reinforced concrete segmental tunnel linings: A systematic review

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Rubberized Concrete: Effect of the Rubber Size and Content on Static and Dynamic Behavior

Buildings
: Rubberized concrete (RC) has received widespread attention due to its energy absorption and crack resistance properties. However, due to its low compressive strength, it is not recommended for structural applications. The rubber size and content affect
