Structural engineers usually limit the use of HSC columns to seismic active zones because of their brittle behavior in comparison with NSC, even though it presents advantages both in terms of mechanics and durability. A ...

[EN] High strength concrete encased columns are being developed for erecting high-rise buildings as their higher load bearing capacity and smaller cross section size than normal concrete encased column. At ambient temperature, ...

This paper aims at assessing the effect of a number of variables on flexural creep of steel fiber reinforced concrete in its cracked state, namely: fiber geometry (slenderness and length), fiber content, concrete compressive ...

[EN] This paper describes the influence of steel fiber-reinforcement on the design of cost-optimized, prestressed concrete, precast road bridges, with a double U-shaped crosssection and isostatic spans. A memetic algorithm ...
