CORR‐DATA: A database of corrosion parameters measured on existing reinforced concrete structures for enhanced structural assessment

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of reinforcing bars embedded in concrete strongly compromises structural performance over time. However, its detection and quantification remain challenging due to limited comprehensive knowledge of natural corrosion patterns in existing structures.

Seismic performance analysis of Kuala Lumpur air traffic control tower by friction damper [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In structural earthquake engineering, different kinds of energy absorption devices were invented during last 30 years (Guan et al, 2004). And more than one-decade research has shown that, on account of the virtue of no power requirement, rapid response ...

Shear wall plan layout optimization considering seismic loads

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Seismic force resistant structural design requires experience and time. Shear wall elements are generally used in concrete structures due to their high stiffness against horizontal forces. The aim of this study is to obtain optimum structural wall disposition by using building information modeling (BIM) technologies.

Calculation of vertical seismic hydrodinamic loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This paper analyzes Zangar's method for calculation of seismic hydrodynamic loads acting at the inclined contour of a concrete gravity dam. Different numerical models are compared with the procedure proposed by Zangar, and the regression formula that eliminates the observed discrepancies is proposed.

Experimental investigations and design of precast concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet slender columns with intermediate connection

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet (CFSCS) offers confinement to the core concrete while the outer galvanized corrugated steel sheet (GCSS) offers excellent corrosion resistance. Application of precast multiple CFSCS columns connected through high‐performance concrete (HPC) in constructing a slender column offers ease of construction while

Performance of two‐to‐one non‐contact post‐installed lap splices

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐installed lap splices ensure the continuity of steel reinforcement in concrete‐to‐concrete connections by overlapping cast‐in (CI) reinforcing bars (rebars) with post‐installed (PI) rebars. Typically, the design of such splices follows provisions originally intended for CI lap splices, despite the differences in execution and bond ...
