In reinforced concrete flat slab buildings, the transference of unbalanced moments in the slab?column connections usually results from the asymmetry of spans, vertical loads, and horizontal forces from the wind. The punching strength of the slab?column c...

The aim of this study is to investigate the seismic behavior of concrete/steel mixed structures. In engineering praxis, many buildings consist of two parts: one made of reinforced concrete and the other made of steel. There are several difficulties in th...

Rework in construction contracts is an interesting topic as it influences contractual claims and disputes. Changes in design, work scope, and construction turn into rework and affect the contract sum, the project completion date and project performance. ...

In order to reduce the large damage caused by train derailment, protective facilities of various shapes and conditions can be installed on railroad tracks. These protective facilities are referred to as derailment containment provisions (DCPs) and three ...

Several factors influence the behaviour of masonry infilled frames, which have been the subject of previous research with moderate success. The new generation of European design standards imposes the need to prevent the brittle collapse of infills and ma...

The coupled steel plate and reinforced concrete (C-SPRC) composite wall is a new type of coupled-wall system consisting of steel coupling beams (SCBs) that join two SPRC walls where the steel plate shear wall (SPSW) is embedded in the RC wall. Although t...

Reinforced concrete slab-column structures, despite their advantages such as architectural flexibility and easy construction, are susceptible to punching shear failure. In addition, punching shear failure is a typical brittle failure, which introduces di...

Simplified code provisions can be used for the analysis and design of straight slab bridges. However, several studies question the appropriateness of simplified procedures for skewed geometries. This paper provides practical insights to the designer rega...

Various concretes have been developed to meet the principles of sustainability. High volume fly ash-self compacting concrete (HVFA-SCC) is one example. The utilization of HVFA-SCC for structural applications, however, raises a concern among designers: th...

Simplified seismic design procedures mostly recommend the adoption of rigid floor diaphragms when forming a building?s lateral force-resisting structural system. While rigid behavior is compatible with many reinforced concrete or composite steel-concrete...
