Structures inevitably suffer damage after an earthquake, with severity ranging from minimal damage of nonstructural elements to partial or even total collapse, possibly with loss of human lives. Thus, it is essential for engineers to understand the cruci...

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in residential buildings need additional weight, e.g., in the form of screeds or gravel layers, to fulfill the criterion for the highest impact-sound class. The additional mass is, however, not exploited for the load be...

Concrete cracking is the significant stage of RC structural deterioration induced by steel corrosion. To predict the corrosion-induced cracking of the loaded RC structure, a multi-scale model is proposed. The formation and transport of corrosion products...

Repairing and strengthening of existing aged steel-reinforced concrete structures is a major challenge. Today, much of the repair work completed is insufficient and brittle. A promising new solution for repair and strengthening tasks is the use of iron-b...

Offshore wind turbines are a complex, dynamically sensitive structure due to their irregular mass and stiffness distribution, and complexity of the loading conditions they need to withstand. There are other challenges in particular locations such as typh...

In most countries, for the production and execution of concrete structures with textile reinforcement, building owners must have a general approval (e.g., ?abZ? in Germany) or an individual license (e.g., ?ZiE? in Germany). Therefore, it is quite common ...

With the innovative composite material carbon-reinforced concrete, thin-walled, high-performance components can be realized. A combination of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) bars and non-metallic textile grids is advantageous as it exploits the fu...

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) are commonly used as internal reinforcement in RC structures in aggressive environments. The design of concrete elements reinforced with FRP bars is usually ruled by serviceability criteria rather than the ultimate limit s...
