The effects of deterioration strongly impact the expected future service life and structural performances existing reinforced concrete structures. Currently, straightforward methodologies are required to include such in assessment renovation RC buildings’ heritage. A simplified protocol enabling detection, evaluation, modelling corrosion is presented this paper. provides guidance for design man...

Structural health monitoring (SHM) provides an opportunity to assess and predict changes in the technical condition of structures during operation a building. damage, as well several operational environmental conditions, causes modal parameters. Temperature is most popular which used for research. However, authors’ knowledge, this first investigation that highlights effect groundwater level cha...

Several factors have been affecting the urban design areas, leading to construction of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. Buildings on sloped terrains gaining increased popularity, especially from architectural peers. The vulnerability constructions seismic loads increases due mass and vertical irregularity, which in turn torsional moments as well shear forces. To control effect loads, many sy...

Explosions caused by standoff charges near buildings have drastic effects on the internal and external structural elements which can cause loss of life fatal injuries in case failure or collapse element. Providing with blast resistance is therefore gaining increasing importance. This paper presents numerical investigation RC columns different reinforcement detailing subjected to near-field expl...
