The design of the concrete structures focuses mainly on the effects of the direct load in terms of the construction safety. In connection with the use of the massive conc [...]

FRP reinforcement subjected to a constant load over time can suddenly fail after a time period called the endurance time. This phenomenon is known as creep rupture. Carbo [...]

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the major cause of deterioration of existing RC structures. Combined effects of moisture, temperature, and chlorides reduce the alkali [...]

Traditional material for concrete reinforcement is steel. In recent times, non-metallic fibers (steel, glass, aramid, carbon, polyethylene and polypropylene) as dispersed [...]
