Influence analysis of persistent joint on single-hold blasting damage of rock mass.
(JESTR, 2020-05)
It is difficult to be measure and analyze the blasting damage of rock masses containing persistent joint. A field test was
conducted to determine the distribution range of blasting damage zone in intact rock mass for ...
Evaluation of corrosion-resistant basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer bars and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grid reinforcement to replace steel in precast concrete underground utility vaults.
(Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2016-09)
Underground utility vaults are widely used to house
utilities and are conventionally designed using steel
reinforcement. These structures are often designed
with thicker cover concrete in an attempt to prevent the
corrosion ...
Identification of damage in steel beams using frequency response changes.
(AJBAS, 2013)
The issue of structural condition monitoring is becoming increasingly important as the Ireland’s and the world’s civil engineering infrastructure ages. An efficient monitoring process is essential as part of a modern ...
Enhancement factors for the vertical response of footbridges subjected to stochastic crowd loading.
(Elsevier, 2012-07)
The vertical acceleration response of a hypothetical footbridge is predicted for a sample of single pedestrians and a crowd of pedestrians using a probabilistic approach. This approach uses statistical distributions to ...
Characterisation of natural fibres for enhancement of concrete properties.
(OJS/PKP, 2019-06)
The use of fibres as reinforcement of composites is widely applicable for mechanical, materials and construction sectors. For instance, most of those fibres are not produced from renewable sources or by ecological procedures ...
Lateral loads applied by pedestrians at normal walking velocities.
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
The issue of horizontal loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers
in the past decade, primarily due to notable instances of excessive vibration of structures subjected ...
Modelling the vertical loads applied by pedestrians at a range of walking velocities.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Over the past half century numerous high profile bridges such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the London Millennium Bridge, and the Auckland Harbour Bridge have been subject to pedestrian induced vibrations due to walking. In this ...
Alternative reinforcement for lightly loaded concrete structures.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Traditionally, high yield steel has been the common method of providing reinforcement in
concrete, primarily due to its high tensile strength. However, steel is susceptible to corrosion,
particularly in aggressive ...
