Base isolation systems have conventionally been used to mitigate the major impacts of earthquakes on the structures and attenuate their seismic responses. The scrap tyre pads are proven to be a material that resists ...

Flat slab structural systems are frequently used in various construction scenarios, such as multistorey buildings, bridges, parking garages, and foundation engineering, for their great economical superiority and ease ...

Beam-column junctions are key zones in reinforced concrete structures that are particularly vulnerable to earthquake stresses. As a result, strengthening the beam-column joint is critical in order to save the structure ...

Traditional rubber seismic isolators are rarely employed for residential buildings as they are big in size, heavy and expensive. Fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (FREIs) has been identifiedto provide cost effective ...

The main goal of this research is set out to study the flexural behaviour of concrete filled steel tubes (CFST) giving insight to two different concrete infills and their behaviour in different parametric combinations. ...

The process of managing a construction project is difficult and time-consuming. Since the jobs associated with a project are diverse and complex, involving numerous stakeholders in various phases, successful project ...

Alkali activated binders (AABs) are a sustainable alternative to Portland cement. They make use of industrial byproducts rich in aluminosilicates to produce hardened binder which contain contains hydrous alkali-alumi ...

Infill walls are very common structure present around us but their significance was always overlooked leading to the premature collapse of building during the laterals loads such as earthquake and wind loads. After ...

Over the past few decades, the complex global business environment and increasing business competitiveness have highlighted the importance of performance evaluation in the construction industry which has long been ...
