Optimal structural design method for reinforced concrete column in buildings with high floor heights using a genetic algorithm

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, there is a growing trend toward taller, larger, and more structurally diverse buildings that require expansive interior spaces. Rapid technological advancements have surged the demand for data centers, while the expansion of e‐commerce has increased logistics volumes, driving the need for large‐scale warehouses.

Split‐disk testing of precast ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete tubes

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ultra‐high performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has great potential for structural applications involving precast cylindrical shapes, including pipes, silos and stay‐in‐place forms for concrete columns. This study examines the performance of UHPFRC rings under internal pressure simulated using the split‐disk loading method, along ...

From section to structure: Assessing the impact of localized corrosion on reinforced concrete beams

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) elements affected by localized corrosion represents a major challenge for ensuring structural safety and for the proper design of strengthening interventions. The effects of localized corrosion on the flexural behavior of RC beams remain a topic of debate within the scientific community.

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Behavior of manufactured sand and recycled coarse aggregate concrete‐filled steel tubular stub columns with circular section

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Accelerated urbanization has intensified environmental concerns due to excessive natural resource consumption and construction waste generation. Circular concrete‐filled steel tube (CFST) columns incorporating manufactured sand recycled coarse aggregate (MS‐RCA) concrete have emerged as an innovative composite element offering notable ...

The influence of secondary reinforcement on a strut‐and‐tie model for the design of reinforced concrete corbels

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In precast concrete structures, optimizing the design of corbels by considering the contributions of secondary reinforcement elements can significantly improve construction economy, especially when corbels are repeated multiple times. This paper proposes a strut‐and‐tie model for reinforced concrete corbels subjected to vertical and/or ...

The challenges of GFRP RC beam design for limit states

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars are used ever more frequently in concrete construction due to their non‐corrosive and anti‐magnetic properties. Their research over the past decades focused on fundamental questions, such as the design aspects of beams under flexural loads.

Identification of invisible damage in prestressed concrete bridges—A demonstrator case using coda wave interferometry

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract During their life cycle, prestressed concrete bridges are prone to wire breaks of their tendons due to fatigue or stress corrosion cracking. However, not all structures show visible cracking on the surface, which would provide timely warning of otherwise invisible damage. Brittle failure may occur.
