Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImprove the Consumption of Cement and Sand in Massive ConcreteKaveh Ostad-Ali-Askari et al.The massive concretemixing plan is very important due to its large volume of use in concrete dams.Productivity can be increased in dam manufacturing industry by adopting asuitable method for mixing mass concrete that can meet design, executive andeconomic needs. Because of intensification rate construction of dams newperiods and high cost of implementing such projects any step that reduces theircost of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 1 Nov 2021 · 6,347 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleParametric Study to Maximize the Useful Life of Reinforced Concrete ColumnsTamires L. Mezzomo, Moacir KripkaThe current scenario of structural engineering is guided by the growing ecological concern and constant search for efficient and economic structural solutions. In this sense, aspects related to the durability of structures have become a significant topic of study. Based on this context, the purpose of this work was to provide resources that allow the maximization of the useful life … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 8 Jun 2021 · 6,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleExperimental and Numerical Analysis of Continuously Coupling Timber-Lightweight EPS Concrete Composite SystemNikola Perković, Vlatka Rajčić, Jure BarbalićA composite system based on concrete and timber represents a very successful engineering solution in the process of optimization of construction. Nowadays, by combining different timber products and concrete classes it is easy to achieve improved engineering features for elements in different static systems or load cases. This paper presents an overview of the research initiated by solving the problem … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 2 Feb 2021 · 6,433 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimization of Reinforced Concrete Beams and Steel Beams: A Comparative StudyJoel M. Ozimboski, Zacarias M.C. Pravia, Moacir KripkaIn order to support the structural designer with regard to the selection of structural materials, this work presents results obtained from the optimization of reinforced concrete beams and welded “I” steel beams. To achieve this objective, both problems were formulated according to Brazilian standards, considering the cost as objective function and section dimensions as design variables. For the optimization of … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2020 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleANSYS Numerical Modeling of Confined Deep Beam with High Strength ConcreteSyahril Taufik, Elia Anggarini, Ichwan SetiawanIn the numerical modeling presented, the deep beam is accounted for by means of a three dimensional FEA ANSYS 13.0 approach, in which the structure is modeled with load-displacement-based solid finite elements, whereas the internal work structure interacted by high strength concrete and reinforcement in full scale. Most deep beam collapse is dominated by the shear brittle collapse. Recently, confinement … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2020 · 6,953 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleViability of Using Local Waste Materials in the Production of High-Performance and Self-Compacting ConcreteSayed Mohamad Soleimani, Abdel Rahman Alaqqad, Ali Behbehani et al.The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of using local waste materials on the properties of fresh and hardened high performance and self-compacting concrete. Crushed ceramic products and steel slag from electric-arc furnaces were used as partial replacements of traditional concrete raw materials in the production of self-compacting and high-performance concrete, which were obtained from local factories … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2020 · 8,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleConcretes Resistance of Yam a Great PersistenceHossein Gholami, Majedeh Haeri-Hamedani, Mohsen Ghane, Kaveh Ostad-Ali-AskariToday all distinguish the position of earthquake withstanding of constructions in seismic-vulnerable zones. With respect to this opinion that current concrete constructions are usually considered and constructed depend on earliest rules lacking examining the result of seismic powers and the novel rules don’t guess any shake, so, these structures must be persistence capability. Investigation on standards of HPFRCC substantial as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2019 · 7,106 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of Fire Effects on Reinforced Concrete Columns Using Finite Element MethodSajjad Sayyar Roudsari, Taher M. Abu-LebdehIn this paper, four different Reinforced Concrete (RC) columns are analyzed with Finite Element (FE) ABAQUS software and validated experimentally. One of the RC columns, the control specimen, is subjected to only compressive force applied at both ends of the column, while the other three models were loaded under both compressive force and fire load. The temperature is applied to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2019 · 7,599 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSustainable Study of Self-Healing Concrete in Hot Desert ClimateBatoul Chamali, Moayyad Al-Nasra, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThe hot and dry desert climate is characterized by high temperature and high humidity. This affects the strength of concrete negatively by the difficulty of providing proper curing and by generating early micro-cracks due to the high temperature. These two issues have been addressed in this study by adding calcite precipitating bacteria to deal with the micro-cracks and by adding … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 May 2019 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
