This paper presents the results of an experimental program carried out on slender elliptical hollow section columns filled with concrete. Given the reduced number of experimental results found in the literature on concrete ...

The use of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC hereafter) is becoming more and more common. Building codes and recommendations are gradually including the positive effect of fibers on mechanical proper ...

In this investigation, the characteristics and the rheological properties of two different nanocomposite systems were investigated. These systems consisted of a dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon nanofibers ...

The bond behaviour of prestressing strands in precast pretensioned concrete members, and its transmission length, depends on several factors. However, no consensus exists on the main parameters to be considered in the ...

[EN] The most frequent problem in terms of pathology and probably the one with the greatest economic impact that steel presents in structural concrete reinforcements, is the corrosion of the nomic reinforcements. This ...

[ES] La pelota vasca es un enraizado deporte de un territorio concreto, el País Vasco, que se ha expandido a lo largo de todo el mundo, siendo practicado tanto en Europa como en América de Sur. Quizá sea por su tradición, ...

[EN] This work consists of the analysis and later capture of decision of action, on a series of existing pathologies of the props of the floor of basement of a building

[EN] This research analyzes the solution of reinforced concrete joints reinforced with steel sections, known as steel reinforced concrete (SRC). The aim is to verify the improvement of the ductile characteristics of steel ...

[EN] This work deals with the revaluation of coffee bean residues from the coffee liquor industry with the aim of developing eco-efficient composite materials with a polymeric matrix of polylactic acid (PLA). The coffee ...

[EN] This paper describes standard scale fire tests conducted on four precast prestressed hollow core slabs configurations under flexure. The influence of the reinforcement arrangement was investigated using two test ...
