Evaluation of Deep Learning Algorithms in Predicting Seismic Response of a Reinforced Concrete Structure
… response of a six-story instrumented reinforced concrete hotel in California to seismic excitation. Given the increasing availability of strong-motion data and expanded usage of deep learning in structural health monitoring, this thesis seeks to evaluate the predictions of purely data-driven and …

Development and testing of real-time tunable diode laser based water vapor measurement system
… fire scenarios carried out in three different structures, i.e metal container, concrete and drywall were studied. The effect of fuel load on water vapor concentration was compared by considering three distinct fuel loads namely, pallet and straw, pallet, straw and oriented standard board (OSB) …

Nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures under seismic excitation
Exploring nonlinear behavior of structures through structural analysis software can be time and computer processing intensive especially with complicated structural models. This paper will explore the nonlinear behavior of a reinforced concrete structure with varying damping conditions that will …

Comportamento teórico-experimental de pórticos planos de concreto armado com pilares esbeltos
… of buckling tests, involving ten reinforced concrete plane frames, performed in the Structural Laboratory of the Technology Center of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. From those ten models, eight were tested correcting the verticality of the load, using a device specially designed …

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 …

Damping and flexural properties of prestressed concrete members subjected to reversed cyclic loading
… part discusses the problem of using prestressed concrete for earthquake resistant structures, and examines the "equivalent viscous damping" approach to the measurement of structural damping. Part two describes the reversed cyclic testing of prestressed concrete members: end moments were applied …

Equivalent CO2 Emissions and Construction Costs of Buildings Designed Using Recycled Aggregate Concrete
… have resulted in increased research dedicated to concrete produced with a variety of recycled and secondary materials. Despite the environmental benefits of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), compared with conventional aggregates, the use of these materials often results in significantly lower …

Claiborne Avenue in the Treme: re claiming neutral ground
… in spite of the oppressive nature of the massive concrete structure that looms overhead. The intent of this thesis is to develop another option for the future of this neutral ground, one in which the I-10 overpass is removed. In a neighborhood with such strong and persistent connections to its …

A nanochemomechanical investigation of carbonated cement paste
Concrete, and in particular its principal component, cement paste, has an interesting relation with carbon dioxide. Concrete is a carbon dioxide generator-- it is estimated that 5-10% of atmospheric CO₂ comes from this source. Carbon dioxide is a concrete corroder-- it can penetrate into the porous …

Modeling recycled aggregate concrete crack by extended finite element method and concrete damage plasiticity
Crushing concrete to bring the aggregates back to be used for concrete structures is a process of creating recycled aggregate (RA). Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has become increasingly important in the field of construction. The use of recycled aggregate concrete made from recycled aggregate …

The effect of carbonation after demolition on the life cycle assessment of pavements
… has driven research to assess the life cycle of concrete versus asphalt structures and to develop a strategy to reduce the carbon footprint. The life cycle of pavement has been studied with respect to CO₂ emissions in the use phase of concrete as well as after the concrete is demolished. However, …

The influence of fly ash and ground granulated blastfurnace slag on restrained shrinkage cracking of bonded overlays
The concrete repair industry is driven by deterioration of, damage to, and defects in concrete structures. The impact of deterioration or damage is a reduction in the service life of the concrete structure. One of the common methods used to repair and rehabilitate damaged concrete structures is the …

Long term behavior of cable strayed bridges
In the design of a structure, one of the most difficult parameter to assess is how the initial condition of a structure will change with time. During its life span, a structure can be subjected to different loads, changes in geometric configuration and even changes in its mechanical properties. …
