Structural performance deterioration of corroding reinforced concrete columns in marine environments (Elsevier, 2022-10)In aggressive marine environments, rebar corrosion caused by chloride ion ingression in concrete is a critical factor leading to premature failure of in-service reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper investigated ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2022-03)The pseudo-dynamic experimentation technique was investigated to evaluate the damage occurring in a reinforced concrete footing with stub column due to the overall response of a linear elastic two-storey, two-bay ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2022-09)This paper introduces the application of technology solutions into the realm of bridge inspection methodologies in South Africa, aiming to enhance the current visual bridge inspection methodology. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ...
-
(ICE Publishing, 2022-01-17)The design of pile foundations to accommodate horizontal loads is a complex soil−structure interaction problem. Current small-scale laboratory testing of pile foundations is mostly focused on metal piles, which raises the ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)It is widely accepted that urban development results in larger flood peak discharges with faster catchment response times, larger total runoff volumes and lower base flow volumes. However, these effects have not previously ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-10)Wind turbine power generation, both onshore and offshore, has gained significant popularity over the past few decades. However, the design of a turbine’s foundation, capable of supporting a tall structure subject to large ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-09)Very little guidance exists on the design of steel column base connections subjected to axial compression and biaxial bending. A new mechanical model is proposed here for designing such base connections. The model constructs ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-10)Tailings dams are large, often self-contained, storage facilities of mine residue. On self-contained tailings dams the tailings material itself is used to raise the containment embankments holding newly deposited residue. ...
-
(MDPI, 2021-11-22)The drive for sustainable societies with more resilient infrastructure networks has catalyzed interest in leakage reduction as a subsequent benefit to energy recovery in water distribution systems. Several researchers have ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2021-12)Ultra-Thin Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (UTCRCP) consists of a 50 mm thin High- Strength Steel-Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (HS-SFRC) overlay placed on existing pavements as rehabilitation or used as part of ...
-
(South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2021-12)Many governments in the global south are grappling with challenges of improving the quality of informal transport, and an inability to pay for service improvements. This paper asks the question whether efficiency benefits ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Transportation foundations around the world exist predominantly in an unsaturated state. Support for the adoption of unsaturated soil mechanics in routine geotechnical engineering is ever-increasing. However, the measurement ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-04)Pavement sustainability is measured using various methodologies which often focus on only certain aspects of sustainability. Methods to quantify and unify holistic sustainability in terms of economic, environmental and ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-04)Construction, maintenance and demolition of pavements are often considered the only activities impacting the environment. This paper shows that user emissions, influenced by factors such as road roughness and climate change, ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-12)The seismic assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) structures before and after retrofitting is a challenging task, mainly because existing numerical tools cannot accurately model the evolution of concrete damage. This ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-11)Modeling, analysis and design of retrofitting interventions has been a topic of numerous research projects that aim in providing answers to complex questions such as “which retrofitting technique is more effective in terms ...
-
(Elsevier, 2021-12)Conventional asphalt mixture performs well in most asphalt pavement applications. However, blistering, which is a common phenomenon in semi-arid areas, is one distress mechanism caused by various detrimental salts resulting ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-02)Please read abstract in the article.
