Abstract A total of four reinforced concrete (RC) columns were tested to compare the structural capacities of RC columns produced by natural perlite aggregates and conventional concrete. The structural performance of the RC columns made from natural perlite aggregates was compared to conventional RC columns regarding the same concrete strength levels ...

Abstract Fly ash foam composite concrete (FFC) is a sustainable, lightweight alternative to traditional concrete. However, accurately predicting its compressive strength (CS) through conventional laboratory methods is challenging due to its non‐linear behavior induced by the addition of foam content and fly ash. Also, the laboratory determination of CS

Abstract The field of reinforced concrete (RC) strengthening continues to evolve as the construction industry seeks cost‐effective and sustainable alternatives to structural replacement. This study, therefore, aimed to comprehensively investigate the pioneering application of steel‐reinforced grout (SRG) for strengthening large‐scale, 3.5‐meter‐long ...

Abstract As presently circumscribed, the Paleotropical genus Tarenna, belonging to the tribe Pavetteae (Rubiaceae), comprises about 200 species and has its centres of diversity in tropical Asia and Africa. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies of the tribe revealed the polyphyly of Tarenna, suggesting that the genus needs to be recircumscribed ...
