Evaluation Method for Concrete Construction

Evaluation of Rough Set Theory for Decision Making of rehabilitation Method for Concrete Pavement

In recent years a great number of advanced theoretical - empirical methods has been developed for design & modeling concrete pavements distress. But there is no reliable theoretical method to be use in evaluation of conerete pavements distresses and making a decision about repairing them. Only empirical methods is used for this reason. One of the most usual methods in evaluating concrete paveme...

Concrete Shear Wall Construction

Buildings with cast-in-situ reinforced concrete shear walls are widespread in many earthquake-prone countries and regions, such as Canada, Chile, Romania, Turkey, Colombia, the republics of the former Soviet Union, etc. This type of construction has been practiced since the 960s in urban regions for mediumto high-rise buildings (4 to 35 stories high). Shear wall buildings are usually regular in...

Crack Resistant Concrete Material for Transportation Construction

Most transportation infrastructures are exposed to a combination of mechanical and environmental loads. Normal concrete is brittle and tends to crack, resulting in a lack of durability and frequent repair needs. This paper describes an ultra ductile cementitious composite which is highly crack resistant, with a tensile strain capacity over three hundred times that of normal concrete. Apart from...
