Extreme waves, i.e., tsunamis and storm surges, can generate tremendous hydraulic bores capable of inflicting considerable damage to near-shore bridge infrastructure, often leading to structural failure. However, accurate ...

Shear connectors are generally provided to achieve composite action between the concrete slab and the supporting steel beam by transferring horizontal shear force across the interface. This paper investigates the strength ...

The production of sustainable green concrete is getting popularity in concrete industries. The increasing amount of waste tires and construction and demolition (C&D) wastes mounting up in the landfills create a concern for ...

Precast Spun Prestressed Concrete (SPC) piles are a well-established foundation type in many parts of the world, but it is newly introduced in Bangladesh, particularly in soft soil. As a result, assessing the bearing ...

Exposure to airborne fine (PM2.5; particles less than 2.5 µm) and ultrafine (UFP; particles less than 100 nm) particulate matter causes adverse health effects. While ultrafine particles are a sub-component of PM2.5, the ...

In this study effectiveness of steel concrete composite beams for long span structures has been investigated. The aim was to provide a choice to the design community for selecting proper framing system while designing long ...

Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC) was first published in 1993 to provide guidelines for design and construction of new buildings. Recently a thoroughly revised version of this code called BNBC-2020 has been published. ...

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) may be an alternative to use for natural aggregate (NA) in concrete production. Recycling of demolished concrete into aggregate to produce recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is environmentally ...

Dispersive soil is problematic soil that erodes or dislodges easily in the presence of flowing water or even stagnant water. The soil is highly susceptible to erosion due to the presence of a high percentage of exchangeable ...
