Strengthening of RC beams using near surface embedded-FRCM
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Fibre reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems are mostly externally bonded (EB) for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. In this paper, the relatively new concept of near-surface ...
Comfort and use in building evaluation: Information modelling and post-occupancy in the built environment
(
Beijing JiaoTong University
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Advances in computer science and information management increasingly allow built environment professionals to envision the day when there will be 'cradle-to-grave' modelling of buildings. This will involve measurement and ...
Strength, shrinkage, and permeability performance of seawater concrete
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Given the increasing global concern of freshwater scarcity, the use of seawater in concrete mixtures appears to be a way forward towards achieving sustainable concrete, especially in the case of non-reinforced concrete ...
