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 ... -
Ceramic waste sludge as a partial cement replacement.
(CERAI, 2014-08)In this research study, waste ceramic sludge derived from orthopaedic implant mass finishing processes were employed as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement ... -
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 ... -
Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(EuroDyn, 2011-07)The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper. Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ... -
Corrosion resistant reinforcement for sustainable bridges and underground structures.
(ICSECM, 2013-12)Bridge decks and underground service structures are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions where structural damage due to corrosion is a common phenomenon. This results in reduced service life and expensive ... -
Design, construction and dynamic analysis of a laboratory-scale FRP composite footbridge.
(Technische Universität Berlin, 2017-09)Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. Of particular interest is ... -
Development of a reusable learning object for use in teaching structural engineering.
(AIT, 2013)Reusable learning objects may be considered to be pre-developed digital learning activities that may be integrated into lessons, modules, and courses. Their advantages include their flexibility of content, their accessibility ... -
Development of the large-tonnage pressure-type prestressed anchor cable with BFRP for geotechnical engineering and its mechanical properties
(Wiley/Hindawi, 2022)Prestressed anchor cable is widely used in geotechnical engineering to control the displacement or landslide of an unstable slope. However, the traditional cable anchor is made of steel material, which is easy to get rust ... -
The effect of calcination conditions on oat husk ash pozzolanic activity
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are known and used to reduce cement consumption, but some waste sources currently used for partial cement replacement are threatened by changing industrial production processes ... -
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Experimental study on tensile characteristics of layered carbonaceous slate subject to water-rock interaction and weathering.
(MDPI, 2023-01-03)The transverse isotropy of rock masses formed by sedimentation is a common stratum environment in engineering, and the physical–mechanical properties can degrade due to water–rock interaction (WRI) and natural weathering, ... -
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 ... -
The impact foot landing position (FLP) has on the simulation of medio-lateral pedestrian loading.
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)The issue of Medial-lateral loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers since the London Millennium Bridge incidence 12 years ago where the bridge vibrated excessively ... -
The impact of footwear on ground reaction forces and gait characteristics of walking pedestrians.
(SECED, 2019-09)Vibration serviceability of lightweight and long-span structures is an area of research, which is attracting increasing attention in recent years. A common source of dynamic excitation in such structures is the interaction ... -
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 ... -
The influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading.
(Dolnoslaskie Wydawnictwo Edukacyjne, 2011)Walking trials have been carried out on a rigid surface mounted with a force plate in order to determine the influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading. This paper presents the results of this ... -
The influence of spatial parameters on pedestrian lateral loading.
(BCRI, 2012-09)Dynamic loading from pedestrians walking on flexible structures such as footbridges is the subject of much research at present. The interest is stimulated by several notable instances of uncomfortable perceptible vibrations ... -
Interaction between pedestrian loading and vibration response of a laboratory-scale FRP composite footbridge.
(Bridge Engineering Association, 2017-08)Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research commu-nity of late. One of the key parameters in ...
