This study aims to comprehensively evaluate the viability of applying the current eccentric compressive design provisions outlined in Eurocode 4 (EC4) for concrete-encased steel composite columns with out-of-code parameters. Specifically, the research undertakes an in-depth analysis of the impact...

In practice, cured concrete strength may exhibit strength variation from batch to batch and within batch despite the mixes being of the same proportions and with quality control. On the other hand, structural concrete elements are designed to meet specific characteristic strength. In order to...

A number of research concerns have arisen in the concrete research community on the fire resistance of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) beams, despite their improved mechanical properties at ambient temperature. The traditional experimental approach to performance-based...

Structural Health Monitoring by use of Visual inspections of bridge structures can be subjective and inaccurate. Recent developments in sensing, communication and information technologies, however, have completely modernized the inspection procedures and significantly increased the efficiency in...
