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, ... -
Suitability of surface-treated flax and hemp fibers for concrete reinforcement
(MDPI, 2022-11-17)The use of vegetable fibres as a sustainable alternative to non-natural sources of fibres applied for concrete reinforcement has been studied for over three decades. The main issues about plant-based fibres pointed out ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Interactive horizontal load model for pedestrians crossing footbridges.
(Taylor & Francis, 2007-02-16)In recent years several theories have been put forward in relation to lateral forces imparted on bridges from crowd movements. It is now widely accepted that the interaction between the crowd and the structure, particularly ...
