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 a model for the optimal design of reinforced rectangular concrete beams for singly reinforced sections. It develops an analytical approach to the problem, based on a criterion of minimum cost and minimum ...

This paper describes the development and tests of ECT sensors, dedicated to identifying the existence of corrosion processes in reinforced concrete structures. The electromagnetic part of the sensor is an RLC series circuit, ...

This paper presents an alternative methodology to represent rebars and their bond-slip behavior against concrete based on coupling finite elements. Among the main features and advantages of the proposed technique are: (i) ...

As most used structures in the country are composed of reinforced concrete or metal profiles,how ever as metal structures are more common in commercial buildings. In this mode, for the best choice of a project, the comparison ...

This work deals with the development of a computational code that realizes the dimensioning of structures of automatically reinforced concrete, be it of beams, rectangular section and section T, submitted to the efforts ...

The aim of this work is to analyze the failure and mechanical behavior of full-scale reinforced concrete beams elaborated with fiber reinforced concrete. Although several researches can be found in the literature related ...
