Substituting rubber particles for a portion of the standard coarse aggregates in concrete is regarded as sustainable solution tackling issue waste-tires disposal. In order to assess structural performance (RC), many studies have been conducted on proportions, mechanical properties, curing conditions, usages, and serviceability material over decades. This review systematically summarizes propert...

Reinforced concrete structures need to be strengthened and retrofitted for various reasons, including errors during design and/or construction, so in most cases strengthening of structural elements is much more economical than rebuilding the structure. Using HPFRCC with tensile stiffening behavior has been developed to strengthen the concrete structures over the recent few years. In this paper,...

This paper examines the behaviour of circular steel tubes infilled with concrete incorporating recycled rubber particles. The rubberised concrete-filled are tested under lateral cyclic deformations and without co-existing axial loading. A detailed account tests on twelve specimens is provided together complementary material section tests. replacement ratio varied up to a relatively high value 6...

The corrosion of reinforced concrete structures influences not only their structural strength but also ductility. In this scenario, the use Special Ductility Tempcore rebars, which belong to highest ductility class, can reduce risk having a brittle failure when occurs. Therefore, paper presents experimental and numerical studies evaluate rotation capacity corroded RC beams with type steel. part...

Elevated rail transit has been developed in some big cities in China in recent years. However, specialized codes for design of the bridges in the elevated rail transit system have not yet been established. Based on the prestressed concrete (PC) box girder bridges on Guangzhou metro line 4, some technical features of design principle and technology requisition, ensemble plan and design load of b...
