Constructions built with partially grouted reinforced masonry (PG-RM) shear walls are common in several countries, and consequently, different construction solutions can be expected. In this context, one of the main ...

Factors such as project and execution errors, lack of maintenance and inspection, and increases in loading can cause deficiencies to reinforced concrete structures. In this regard, there is the necessity of the application ...

SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix composite (SiCf/SiC) is one of the leading candidates in ceramic materials for engineering applications due to its unique combination of properties such as high thermal conductivity, high ...

Structural durability is an important design criterion, which must be assessed for every type of structure, especially for reinforced concrete (RC) structures. When RC structures are located in aggressive environments, its ...

This paper presents the properties of a new fibre cement material formed by short ductile copper fibres randomly distributed in portland cement paste and compacted by compression to 35 MPa. The optimum percentage and the ...
