Consequences of an adjusted slip layer thickness for the hardened properties of UHPC [PDF]

, 2017
The pumpability of a concrete mixture cannot be described by one “single parameter”. The mixture composition, the pump equipment, the pumping pressure,… these parameters all affect the pumpability of a mixture and the ability to form a lubrication layer.

The Effect of Granite Waste Powder as a Cement Substitute on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Mortar

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Granite is extensively used in the construction industry; however, substantial solid waste is produced during production. This study focused on the feasibility of replacing cement with granite powder (GP) in cement mortar by investigating various properties, like consistency, water retention, density, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural ...

Advanced Nonlinear Analysis of a Retrofitted Cold‐Formed Steel Portal Frame: A Comparison of Traditional and Detailed Modeling Approaches

ce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 993-998, December 2025.
Abstract This study presents an in‐depth investigation of a cold‐formed steel portal frame structure, originally designed in the 1950s, through advanced nonlinear analysis. The research aims to compare traditional structural modelling approaches with more detailed nonlinear modelling techniques while evaluating various retrofitting strategies.
