Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Cement Chemistry on the Performance of Cement Stabilized Tropical Lateritic SoilOdumade Adegboyega Oduniyi, Ezeah Chukwunonye, Charles Nnamdi Ezugwu, Ekeoma EmmanuelChemical composition affects overall performance of cement on other materials such as when used in concrete or for stabilization of lateritic soil. This research studied the influence of chemical composition of three Portland cement types represented as samples A, B and C on engineering performance when mixed with laterite under tropical environmental conditions.The Lateritic soil sample classified according to AASHTO … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 21 May 2018 · 8,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Heat on Reinforced Concrete Frame Using Finite Element SoftwareReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiThe present paper examines the effect of heat on the reinforced concrete frame. A concrete frame with a specific geometric dimension has been modeled in ABAQUS finite element software and its loading capacity and other specifications, such as hardness and ductility, have been obtained. Then the concrete frame was heated under temperature 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C and load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 8,331 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudies on Environmental Impact Assessment of Reinforced Concrete in Different Life Cycle PhasesJair Frederico Santoro, Moacir KripkaConcrete is one of most used materials in construction and also one of the main responsible for the emission of carbon dioxide, or CO2, in the atmosphere. Thus, in order to study ways to reduce this impact, it is important to evaluate the influence of each raw material of the reinforced concrete, as well as the phases of the life … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 2 Jan 2018 · 8,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Different Environments on Reinforcement Concrete CorrosionMohammed Thalji Awwad, Omar Asad AhmadThis research focuses on various forms of steel bar corrosion located in different environments and the factors affecting the corrosion process, both the external (surrounding environment around concrete elements) and the internal environment (concrete itself), as well as on the investigations and tests for this type of damage, in order to develop measurements and recommendations that will reduce harmful investment … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 15 Sep 2017 · 7,811 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCracking of Reinforced Recycled Concrete SlabsFlavio Stochino, Luisa Pani, Lorena Francesconi, Fausto MistrettaThe results of an experimental investigation on cracking of fifteen reinforced recycled concrete slabs are presented in this paper. Five different recycled aggregates replacement percentages have been used for different mix design. First, the values of tensile strength, cylindrical compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the concrete mixes have been determined. Then the deflection-load curve of the simply supported … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 5 Sep 2017 · 10,162 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExperimental Study of Composite Beams Made of Steel Tubes Filled with Concrete under the Confinement Effect of U-Links and Stud-PlateMoayyad Al-Nasra, Madiha Ammari, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Abdelqader NajmiConcrete strength improved substantially when lateral confinement stresses are provided. This effect has been exploited in this study in composite beams at the concrete compression zone. New type of confinement is used in this research. The confinement of concrete in the compression zone is accomplished by providing U-links and stud-plate systems. The U-links are steel bars in the shape of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 20 Mar 2017 · 7,265 accessesView PDFCite
