Experimental assessment and retrofit of full-scale models of existing RC frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
PSD tests on two full-scale models of existing non-seismic resisting RC frame structures are described. The testing program covered several aspects, namely assessment of seismic performance of existing frames without and with infill panels ...

Stability Evaluation and Parametric Optimization of Coal‐Concrete Composite Bearing Systems Under Mine‐Water‐Induced Deterioration: Experiments and FEINN Analysis

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Mine‐water immersion tests reveal pronounced coal weakening (vs. minor concrete degradation), identifying coal pillars as the stability‐limiting component in composite dams. A coupled FEINN framework quantifies extreme‐pressure stability and ranks multi‐parameter designs via a normalized multi‐indicator scheme, enabling optimized dam configuration for ...

The study of greening shotcrete considered the landscape [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
This study concerns the protection method and the natural maintenance of aging shotcrete. In Japan, in the high economic growth period in 1960’s, a great number of slopes were formed to construct many roads and most slope protection methods were to cover

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

open access: yesStructural 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 ...

Viscoplastic Modeling the Evolving Mechanical Properties of Shotcrete 3D Printing Material

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, additive manufacturing in construction (AMC) has gradually influenced the building industry by offering a faster and more efficient way to build with concrete. Unlike traditional methods that rely on molds, AMC deposits material layer by layer through an automated process, enabling new possibilities for custom designs and ...

Application of RMR89–NATM Rock Mass Classification for Tunnel Design: A Case Study From Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.
