Structural behaviour of precast lightweight foamed concrete sandwich panel (PLFP) with shear truss connectors
… double shear truss connectors to determine its structural behaviour with validation from experimental work and to develop the empirical equation to predict its ultimate strength under axial load. PLFP panel is made of foamed concrete as the outer wythes which enclose a core layer of polystyrene. …

Shear strengthening of pre-cracked and non pre cracked reinforced concrete continuous beams using bi directional CFRP strips
Shear failure of a reinforced concrete beam is catastrophic where it occurs suddenly and without any warning. The use of FRP sheet as a strengthening and repairing material is an effective method to enhance the shear capacity of the beam. Extensive researches have been conducted on the shear …

Textile fine grined mortar containing palm oil fuel ash as a partial cement replacement for flexural strengthening on reinforced concrete beams
Reinforced concrete (RC) beams represents a large percentage of the structure in buildings. As the beams structures known as bending elements, thus most of the structures are often exposed to bending loads, which can affect in serious deteriorations such as concrete cracking and spalling. Due to …

Development of predicting model for safety behaviour based on safety psychology and working environment
… site were selected as the subjects for analysis. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) was use for analysis purpose which involve correlation, regression and structural equation analysis. The results demonstrated that safety psychology and work …

The hybrid of floating stone column by numerical and physical evaluation
Rapid population growth amplifying demand for accommodation and infrastructure has resulted in soft ground being increasingly used in construction. Problems related to soft ground can be remedied by adopting a ground improvement technique. The stone column is one of the most effective and feasible …

Structural behaviour of circular concrete filled steel tube column fill with selfcompacting concrete incorporating coal bottom ash as fine aggregate replacement
Lack of compaction may affect the interaction between the steel tube and the concrete, hence influence the behaviour of CFST column. Employing selfcompacting concrete (SCC) in CFST column as an infill concrete remove the necessity for compaction. However, higher volume of fine aggregate required in …

Shear strengthening and repair of deep beams with and without web reinforcement using near-surface mounted CFRP bars
… bars have been rapidly employed in strengthening structural concrete elements including deep beams. In this research, the behaviour of deep beam strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) as Near Surface Mounted (NSM) bars was studied. Five groups of deep beams i.e. G1, G2, G3, G4 …

Shear strength of concrete beams reinforced with glass fiber reinforced polymer bars without stirrups
… (RC) structures is gaining acceptance among the structural engineers. The investigation of structure performance of FRP-RC members has become a critical issue. Extensive researches have been conducted to investigate the shear behavior of RC members with FRP bar. However, the shear strength design …

Low velocity impact response of rc beam with artificial polyethylene aggregate as concrete block infill
In structural design, an ideal situation for saving materials would be to reduce the weight of the structure without having to compromise on its strength and serviceability. A new lightweight composite reinforced concrete section was developed with a novel use of a lightweight concrete block as …

Physical, mechanical and environmental properties of fired clay bricks incorporated with palm oil mill waste
The growth of the oil palm industry in Malaysia has generated a significant amount of palm oil mill waste (POMW) causing waste disposal problems. Due to operational challenges and expensive operational cost, POMW is potentially incorporated into fired clay brick owing to high lignocellulosic …

Physical performance and durability evaluation of rubberized concrete
… to develop rubberized concrete with achievable structural strength using simple mix design. Simple mix design is a description by using the crumb rubber, used as in condition just received from the plant without any washing or pre-treating procedure. Then, three types of durability test were …
