Design of High-rise Buildings: Past, Present and Future
An overview of development of high-rise buildings is presented. Key advancements leading to high-rise buildings of today are discussed. Structural analysis and design considerations for modern high-rise buildings are presented and trends in Continue reading
Laboratory Evaluation of Select Methods of Corrosion Prevention in Reinforced Concrete Bridges
Sixteen reinforced concrete laboratory specimens were used to evaluate a number of corrosion prevention methods under an accelerated (6 months) testing program. The use of galvanic thermal sprayed zinc, galvanic embedded Continue reading
Creep Mechanisms in Asphaltic Concrete
Creep in asphaltic concrete, known as permanent deformation or rutting is one of the main failure mechanisms within the road infrastructure network. The Australian pavement design process however, does not incorporate procedures for Continue reading
Integrated Analysis of Bioclimatic Building Design in Three Climate Zones in France
At a time where the planet is facing one of its major global crises, re-thinking of systems in every sector is needed. In the field of energy at its global meaning, various ways of Continue reading
Bridge Life Cycle Cost Optimization: Analysis, Evaluation, & Implementation
Decisions related to implementation of a bridge design proposal generally require that several alternatives be considered. Many factors contribute to an agency’s decision to select a particular proposal. Although the initial project costs may Continue reading
Stability Design of Multi-storey Timber Structures
Stability design of buildings is an extremely important discipline within the field of structural engineering.This report demonstrates, with help of Continue reading
Nationally Determined Parameters of Eurocode 2: A Comparison among Seven European Countries
Since the main ambition of the European community is to create a Single Market among the European countries, a unified set of structural design codes recently became Continue reading
Soil Steel Composite Bridges: A comparison between two Design Methods
The need of exploring efficient solutions to today’s engineering problems is becoming essential in the current market development. Soil Steel composite bridges (SSCB) are considered Continue reading
High Strength Steel in the Reinforced Concrete Structures: Serviceability
The use of high-strength steel (yield stress larger than 100 ksi) in reinforced concrete structures can provide an effective alternative to using conventional steel (yield stress up to 80 ksi). The goal of this study is to investigate if slabs with Continue reading
A Parametric Study of Irregularly Shaped Shotcrete Shells
The shape of a tunnel wall after the task of blasting and drilling is typically irregular. After the tunnel wall is sprayed with shotcrete, the resulting shotcrete surface will also be Continue reading
