Simulation of the Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) Behavior Reinforcing with Resistant Fiber Subjected to Blast Load

Underspanned Bridge Structures in Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC)

Adapted structures must be developed so that modern reactive powder concretes (RPC) can be incorporated into new construction projects in an efficient and logical way. The steps of this development, from the analysis of the material characteristics, to the determination of the structural requirements, to the arrival at an appropriate adapted structure are described. An Outlook on the developmen...

Performance of Polymer-encased Concrete Walls Subjected to Blast Loads

Flexural Behavior of Polyester Polymer Concrete Subjected to Different Chemicals

Polymer concrete (PC) is a composite material prepared by resin and aggregates. Advantages of polymer concretes include rapid curing at ambient temperatures, high flexural and compressive strengths, excellent chemical resistance and low permeability. In this research, a comparative study was performed on degradation of polyester resin concrete in different chemical solutions. Polymer concrete s...

Behavior of FRP-Confined Reactive Powder Concrete Columns under Eccentric Loading

Fiber reinforced Polymers (FRP) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. Proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with FRP. In this paper, the influence of FRP thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

Behavior of Concrete Slab Track on Asphalt Trackbed Subjected to Thermal Load

Concrete track slab and asphalt trackbed are being introduced in Korea for providing good bearing capacity, durability to the track and comfortable rideness to passengers. Such a railway system has been designed by the train load so as to ensure stability. But there is lack of research and design for temperature changes which influence the behavior characteristics of concrete and asphalt. There...

Load-bearing behavior and design of anchorages subjected to shear and torsion loading in uncracked concrete

Fastening Technology with cast-in and post-installed anchors has found widespread use in concrete construction due to their numerous fields of applications. Since the 1970’s research has been conducted in this area to learn more about the load-bearing behavior of anchorages installed in hardened concrete and to develop design recommendations. For design, it has to be distinguished if the anchor...
