Abstract:

<p>New road infrastructure projects are important and constitute of large investments that have to serve the society for a long time. The investments have to be durable at the lowest life cycle cost and the pavements have to sustain loads from increasing traffic intensity and heavy traffic loads. In Sweden less than 1 ‰ of the national road network consists of concrete pavements. In parts of Europe and in the U.S., on the other hand, concrete roads are used to a large extent for highways as well as rural roads. To encourage the competition between different road materials in Sweden, the tools

Abstract:

El Perú presenta diversas eventualidades como las lluvias, que retrasan distintas actividades que promueven el crecimiento económico del país. Las zonas urbanas necesitan una mejora continua del entorno con mejores infraestructuras para promover el crecimiento y reducir los accidentes. En la actualidad, se necesita fomentar por el medio local soluciones innovadoras para la evacuación de altas precipitaciones. El concreto permeable es un tipo de concreto cuya tecnología permite que el agua discurra a través de su estructura por la alta porosidad que posee a diferencia del concreto tradicional.

Abstract:

The building industry is identified as the largest single contributor to climate change, due to extensive consumption of natural resources and the discharge of high volumes of carbon emissions. It is consequently imperative for the whole sector to work towards sustainable design and construction. Although structural engineers have the greatest potential to enhance buildings’ sustainability by means of structural optimisation and/or material efficiency, they often play a restricted role in the sustainable design of a project. While many studies separately investigate the eco-friendly potentials

Abstract:

The importance of studying the behaviour and properties of concrete can be highlighted by considering the fact that concrete is the most used man-made material in the world. The very first step in making concrete is its mix design and deciding the type and amount of constitutes used in the production of concrete which should fulfil the requirements of the final product. Mix design models are commonly used for the purpose of proportioning concrete ingredients while anticipating the properties of the final product. The current document deals with the commonly used principals in mix design model

Abstract:

Multi-span precast concrete segmental bridges are commonly constructed using the balanced cantilever method, which essentially involves sequentially extending precast segments outwards from each pier in a balanced manner. A gap of 100 to 200 mm wide is usually provided around the mid-span location between the last two approaching segments to facilitate erection. In-situ concrete is then cast to ‘stitch’ the segments together, thus making the bridge deck continuous. In the current practice, the in-situ concrete stitches are usually designed to be capable of sustaining considerable sagging mome

Abstract:

The amount of total and relative sway of a framed or a composite (frame-shear wall) building is of utmost importance in assessing the seismic resistance of the building. Therefore, the design engineer must calculate the sway profile of the building several times during the design process. However, it is not a simple task to calculate the sway of a three-dimensional structure. Of course, computer programs can do the job, but developing the three-dimensional model becomes necessary, which is obviously tedious and time consuming. An easy to apply analytical method is developed, which enables th

Reinforced concrete ductile shear walls are the earthquake resisting elements considered in this study. Code provisions for the design of reinforced concrete

Abstract:

A precast concrete structural system offers many advantages over in-situ casting. For example, greater control over the quality of materials and workmanship, improved health and safety (with casting carried out at ground level rather than at height) and cost efficiency (with standard forms continually re-used) are all realised through the off-site production of structural elements. As a result, a large body of research has been conducted into their performance, with many national codes of practice also devoting specific sections to design and detailing.
