In the present research, the uniaxial compression behaviour of concrete under different strain rates is investigated. The investigation emphasises the influence of the strain rate on the development of inelastic deformations due to nonlinear creep for high ...

In many countries of moderate to high seismicity, reinforced concrete (RC) core walls are used as lateral bracing systems in mid- to high-rise buildings where they typically accommodate lift shafts or stair cases. Unlike planar walls which provide horizont ...
Structural components used in civil engineering applications are often subjected to compressive loads. Unlike the tensile strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials, their compressive strength is resin-dominated, exhibiting lower values and more ...
In regions with low to moderate seismicity, unreinforced masonry (URM) is commonly used for the construction of low to mid-rise buildings. When these structures are subjected to seismic loading, the stiff URM walls attract considerable part of the lateral ...
The recent re-assessment of the seismic hazard in Europe led for many regions of low to moderate seismicity to an increase in the seismic demand. As a consequence, several modern unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, constructed with reinforced concrete (R ...
The use of advanced composites for building rehabilitation presents several advantages when compared with traditional construction materials. When degraded building floors need to be replaced, composite sandwich panels are a potentially interesting solutio ...
Limestone in volcanic basements has been identified as a hazard in terms of edifice stability due to the propensity of calcite to decompose into lime and CO2 at high temperatures (>600 °C), causing a decrease in mechanical strength. To date, such hypoth ...
Steel concentrically braced frames inherently provide great strength and stiffness, and are widely used for seismic resisting systems in buildings. These include conventional buckling braced frames and buckling restrained braced frames. Although the latter ...
A novel method for the in-situ repair of composite sandwich structures using microvascular networks and cyanoacrylate (CA) adhesive systems has been presented. Upon a damage event, the vascules become ruptured, providing a route for the introduction of adh ...
The severe damage and collapse of many reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings in the recent earthquakes of Chile (2010) and New Zealand (2011) have shown that RC walls did not perform as well as required by the modern codes of both countries. It seems the ...
