Nanotechnology will serve as a suitable solution to achieve high performance in future construction and construction. Using this new technology, creativity and innovation can be achieved in the building industry. one of these new technologies of smart concrete is that in recent years, many researches and experiments have been done in scientific research centers around the world, so that the con...

ACT does not suggest any regulations for columns under torsion. However, by all means, the number of such columns used in steel and concrete structures is abundant. In this paper, using the results of laboratory tests on 35 square and rectangular columns with intermediate slender ratios, relations for determination of torsional strengths of reinforced concrete under axial compression have been ...

micro silica (ms) is an extremely fine, spherical powder that is used as an additive for improving concrete performance. it is obtained as a by product of silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloy production.  due to its pozzolanic nature, micro silica can be used to enhance the qualities of both  fresh  and  hardened  concrete. addition of micro silica into the concrete as a cement replacement, dec...

(RCS) frames which are systems that dwell of concrete columns and steel beams , by optimizing the act of compressive strength of concrete and bending strength of steel due to not only a decrease in building weight in comparison to concrete structures but also having a better action in long spans frames . In this paper for analysis RCS behavior, a category of nonlinear Push Over analyses were ...

Precast prestreesed concrete braces are a new method for seismic strength of Concrete Structures which has the following benefits: a) no wet concrete work in construction site b) No bolt or anchorage to the existing frame c) easy to apply d) short construction period e) low construction cost, to evaluate seismic performance of strengthened structure a model consist of existing frame and concret...

In recent years, destructive earthquakes have shown the deficiencies of the existing buildings. One of the most effective mechanisms for dissipating the earthquake energy is inelastic deformation of the steel components. The objective of this research is to study the application of metallic dampers for dissipation of the earthquake energy and to investigate the behavior of concrete structures i...
