PERFORMANCE OF EXTERNAL REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM-COLUMN JOINTS MADE OF HIGH STRENGTH CONCRETE

Performance of High-strength Concrete Made with Recycled Ceramic Aggregates

Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

Full Scale Reinforced Concrete Beam-Column Joints Strengthened with Steel Reinforced Polymer Systems

This paper presents the results of an experimental campaign performed at the Laboratory of Materials and Structural Testing of the University of Salerno (Italy) in order to investigate the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column joints strengthened with steel reinforced polymer (SRP) systems. With the aim to represent typical façade frames’ beam-column subassemblies found in...

High Performance Reinforced Concrete Beams made with Sandstone Reactive Aggregates

An investigation on the flexural behaviour of reinforced high performance concrete (HPC) has been conducted. Crushed sandstone known as reactive aggregate was used for both fine and coarse aggregates. In addition, mineral admixtures such as silica fume and fly ash combined with superplasticiser was used. The beams were made with concrete having compressive strength in the range of 74 88 N/mm 2 ...

Seismic Behavior of Beam Column Joints in Reinforced Concrete Moment Resisting Frames

Performance of High-strength Concrete

This research was undertaken to investigate performance of high-strength concrete incorporating mineral admixtures, fly ash and silica fume. For modern construction, the use of new construction materials is increasing to achieve economy and improved final results. An extensive literature search was carried out to review various engineering properties of high-strength concrete. In this study, th...
