This paper presents a numerical approach to model the complex failure mechanisms that define the ultimate rotational capacity of reinforced concrete beams. The behavior in tension and compression is described by a constitutive ...

Vinasse is the main by-product of the sugar and alcohol industry. For each liter of ethanol produced from sugarcane, approximately 12–18 L of vinasse are generated. Being such, its use as a hydration agent in concretes may ...

A diagnosis and rehabilitation study of a reinforced concrete structure is presented in this paper. The Public building was corstructed in 1939, located in marine environment, distant less than I km of the coastal border, ...

With the advancement of technology and the need to build structures increasingly resistant and slim, new types of concrete have been developed to meet this demand. After conventional concrete, it has been the development ...

The self-compacting concrete is a product developed by Japanese in 1988 and its principal characteristic is the fluidity, with high capacity to occupy the spaces without using vibrator. Is a technology that shows many ...
