Flexural Behaviour of Full-scale Basalt FRP RC Beams – Experimental and Numerical Studies
Abstract Basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars are a relatively new material. Due to lack of experience in its use, behaviour of BFRP reinforced concrete (RC) members should be fully investigated. Furthermore, existing design codes for...

Force Prediction of Cylindrical Steel Beams on Pinned-pinned Supports Under Axial Load by Vibration Technique
Abstract Quick monitoring of the axial force of hangers of a suspension or a cable-stayed bridge are of significant importance since large vehicle loads may have affected, if not changed, the axial forces along the life cycle of the bridges. The...

Studies on the Effect of a Limited Polarization Range of Reinforcement on Impedance Spectra Shapes of Steel in Concrete
Abstract Polarization tests by impedance spectroscopy were conducted on single rebars in rectangular concrete specimens. Five different polarized areas of reinforcement were determined by means of an insulation tape on steel bars. The tests were...

Enhancement of shear strength and ductility for reinforced concrete wide beams due to web reinforcement
Abstract The shear behavior of reinforced concrete wide beams was investigated. The experimental program consisted of nine beams of 29MPa concrete strength tested with a shear span-depth ratio equal to 3.0. One of the tested beams had no web...

Circular Economy and Environmental Efficiency–The Case of Traditional Hakka Living System
Abstract This short paper explores issues related with circular economy and the implication of it on environment. It is argued here that the economic model based upon traditional input/output efficiency may no longer be applicable in the age of...

Analysis of Worst Case Stochastic Link Capacity Degradation to Aid Assessment of Transportation Network Reliability
Abstract While link capacities of urban transportation networks possess inherent randomness due to varying reasons, conventional models assume that the designed link capacities prevail. The recent developments in reliable network design require the...

Reducing the Shear Stress in the Footing Bottom of Concrete and Masonry Structures
Abstract Different deformation loads are created on the ground surface due to undermining, which are then transferred to foundation structures. Relative horizontal deformation is one of the most dangerous. The effect of this deformation can be...

Road Transport Elasticity: How Fuel Price Changes can Affect Traffic Demand on a Toll Motorway
Abstract The crisis beginning in late 2008 in Greece, and still in progress, led the Greek Government to undertake a particularly harsh program under the joint auspices of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Union and the European...
