Static Bending Strength Performance of Domestic Wood-Concrete Hybrid Laminated Materials

Summary STUDIES OF THE STRENGTH OF GLUED LAMINATED WOOD CONSTRUCTION

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...

On Bending Response of Doubly Curved Laminated Composite Shells Using Hybrid Refined Models

This paper presents a static analysis of laminated composite doubly-curved shells using refined kinematic models with polynomial and non-polynomial functions recently introduced in the literature. To be specific, Maclaurin, trigonometric, exponential and zig-zag functions are employed. The employed refined models are based on the equivalent single layer theories. A simply supported shell is sub...

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...

Mechanical Performance of Wood Construction Materials

The paper aims to illustrate the relevant use of infrared thermography as a nondestructive, non-contact and real time technique (a) to observe the progressive damage process and failure mechanism of wood, and (b) to detect the occurrence of intrinsic dissipation localization. The investigated parameter is the heat generation due to intrinsic dissipation caused by inelasticity. Thanks to the the...
