Degradation of Building Materials by Corrosive Pollutants
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) is used for the corrosion suppression of reinforced concrete structures (RCS). One of the main issues with reinforced concrete constructions is corrosion. It interacts with acids, alkalis and salts to produce disintegration in building materials components. Pollutants and effluents speed up disbanding inside and outside reinforced structures. Bio-wastes come in contact of building materials to develop miro and macro-organism and these organisms release acid substances to …

Structural Integrity Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Frames Under Progressive Collapse Scenarios
Abstract: This study examines how a tall reinforced concrete (RC) frame may gradually collapse under several column removal situations, such as edge, end, center, zigzag, and two-column failures. The study assesses the structural reaction based on displacement, inter-story drift, and Demand–Capacity Ratio (DCR) using nonlinear static pushover analysis carried out in ETABS. According to the analysis, the frame's stability is seriously jeopardized when two nearby columns and end columns are removed, …

Comparative Study of Flat Slab and Conventional Slab Structure Based on Seismic Behaviour and Cost Effectiveness
Abstract: Flat slab recent earthquakes in which many concrete structures have been severely damaged or collapsed, have indicated the need for evaluating the seismic adequacy of buildings. About 60% of the land area of our country is susceptible to damaging levels of seismic hazard. We can’t avoid future earthquakes, but safe building construction practices can certainly reduce the extent of damage and loss. As being one of the special reinforced concrete …

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Approaches for Corrosion Prediction and Management of Steel Reinforcement in Concrete: A Systematic Review
Abstract: Load bearing concrete structures need steel reinforcement bar (rebar), which are prone to attack by the corrosive environment inside the concrete due to constant ingress of moisture, pollutant gases and anions (mainly Cl−, SO42−). In recent models for the potential life span, the causes of failure of concrete structures have been established principally due to the chloride (Cl−) ion, because of the ease in transportation of Cl− in concrete and …

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF HIGH-RISE STRUCTURE WITH CREEP AND SHRINKAGE EFFECT
Abstract: This study deals with a time-dependent analysis of reinforced concrete G+40 RC frame structures considering the construction sequence with the effect of creep and shrinkage analysis. Because of the non-mechanical deformations induced by the time-dependent deformations of concrete, concrete structures usually present different behaviors when the construction sequences are changed, despite having the same structural configurations. Therefore, the time-dependent effects of concrete such as creep and shrinkage must be taken …
