INTRODUCTION
Since its opening in 2010, the Cal Poly’s Simpson Strong-Tie Material Demonstration Laboratory has been used for multiple activities by the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. Currently, the bottom floor is used for Continue reading
Lightweight Aggregate concrete has been proven to be able to reduce the self-weight of a structure. An experimental study was undertaken using lightweight scoria aggregate concrete (LWSAC) aiming to determine the Continue reading
Drilled shafts have been used in the US for more than 100 years in bridges and buildings as a deep foundation alternative. For many of these applications, the drilled shafts were designed using the Continue reading
Early-age cracking can seriously compromise the performance and aesthetics of concrete structures, and is thus an ongoing major concern to the concrete construction industry. More effective control of this form of cracking requires an Continue reading
As durability-based design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures in corrosive environments is highly influenced by chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel bars, this paper first presents brief outline of an experimental investigation recently Continue reading
Concrete is the most widely used building material around the world because of the availability of raw materials, the simplicity in preparation and the moulding into different shapes. One of the main ingredients in a normal concrete mixture is Continue reading
The AASHTO strategic plan in 2005 for bridge engineering identified extending the service life of bridges and accelerating bridge construction as two of the grand challenges in bridge engineering. These challenges have the objective of producing safer and Continue reading
Structures are commonly made of reinforced concrete, which is a composite material made of concrete and steel reinforcement. Using high-strength steel, with yield stress larger than 100 ksi, could help reduce the quantity of steel required in Continue reading
In this paper, the bond integrity of unmodified and rubber-modified epoxy used for bonding the carbon fibre sheets to the hosting steel surface was investigated. The rigidity of the bonding agent is one of the factors that have a significant role in the Continue reading
Building tall has always been an expression of dreams, power and technical advancement. With the greatly increasing urbanization in recent years building tall has become Continue reading
A construction project including planning, cost estimation and design of ”Six Houses, Paired 2-2” on a property in the Continue reading
