In this investigation, the elasto-plastic behavior and the seismic performance of concrete reinforced frame structures reinforced are evaluated by applying the Pushover method. This evaluation is done on several cases: ...

The aim of this paper is to study the effects of carbonation on the electrochemical properties of carbon steel and galvanized steel, immersed into cubic prisms of concrete elaborated with Portland pozzolanic cement. ...

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 ...

This work proposes a methodology for non destructive testing (NDT) of reinforced concrete structures, using superficial magnetic fields and artificial neural networks, in order to identify the size and position of steel ...

In the absence of preventive maintenance, corrosion of structural steel by the deterioration of the passive layer due to exposure to aggressive environments is the main failure factor of reinforced concrete. To overcome ...

The inclusion of ductility requirements is necessary to guarantee a safety design of concrete structures subjected to unexpected and/or reversal loads. It is important to outline that plastic hinges may develop in columns ...

Fiber reinforced concrete structures are subjected to chloride and carbonation penetration that could initiate corrosion of steel fibers, with eventual pernicious consequences in terms of structural and durability performance. ...
