Structural Protective Design with Innovative Concrete Material and Retrofitting Technology

Structural Rehabilitation, Retrofitting and Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Reinforced cement concrete is getting extensively used for construction of different type of structures for the last one century. During this period, we have constructed many structures like buildings, bridges, industrial structures, pavement, water tanks etc. using this construction material. These structures have been created with huge investment of resources. It is essential to maintain thos...

Retrofitting the AutoBayes Program Synthesis System with Concrete Syntax

AUTOBAYES is a fully automatic, schema-based program synthesis system for statistical data analysis applications. Its core component is a schema library. Le., a collection of generic code templates with associated applicability constraints which are instantiated in a problem-specific way during synthesis. Currently, ALTOBAYES is implemented in Prolog; the schemas thus use abstract syntax (Le., ...

Frp for Retrofitting and Strengthening of Concrete Structures

The use of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) for retrofitting and strengthening concrete structures provides an attractive and economical solution to increasing their strength and ductility. This paper reviews some of the Canadian projects which have been completed using this material. The selected projects are sponsored by the Canadian Network of Centres of Excellence on Intelligent Sensing for I...

Structural Consideration in Design of Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Openings

Over 90% of framed structures in Uganda are built from reinforced concrete. Prior to the 1990’s, most buildings had no openings in slabs, yet in city centers buildings butt against each other with widows at front and back only. This limited retail activities to front rooms of the ground floor and the buildings had to be narrow. A baseline survey of 50 shopping malls in Kampala Central Business ...
