The effects of permeable formworks with sucker liners on the physical properties of concrete surfaces.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract In this study, the effects of formwork, with drainage holes that are attached with different liners, on the physical properties of concrete surfaces are investigated. Nine formworks, three of them normal (reference) and six of...

Resin-injected dowel joints in glulam and structural timber composites.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract Structural timber composites offer higher strength and larger sections than solid timber. They are being more widely used in the UK construction industry in more highly stressed timber components and structures. In this programme...

Theoretical model of the determination of the deformation rates of RC beams.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract A theoretical model for the determination of the moment vs. curvature, and shear force vs. shear deformation relationships based on the stress-strain curves of materials given in ENV (1991), with material characteristics obtained...

Seismic retrofit of spread footings supporting bridge columns with short dowels.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract A study was undertaken to develop and test a seismic retrofit method for bridge spread footings. Two 0.4-scale footing specimens representing the as-built and retrofitted footings were tested under cyclic lateral loads. The soil...

Polymer concrete-filled steel tubes under axial compression.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFT) structures are rapidly emerging as one of the inevitable structural systems for earthquake resistance, as they have been known to exploit the best attributes of both steel and concrete,...

A practical approach to in-situ evaluation of surface-treated structures.(Statistical Data Included)
June 1, 2001... Abstract This paper describes the result of a field evaluation carried out to ascertain the effectiveness of hydrophobic and consolidating treatments applied to the surfaces of three historic buildings and monuments in the UK. The surface...
