Reasons to the low use of self-consolidating concrete in Norway
(Norsk Betongforening, 2017)
According to several research papers, self-consolidating concrete (SCC) should be able to offer
advantages over conventional vibrated concrete (CVC) [1

. Nevertheless, in Norway SCC
has a relatively low market ...
Assessment of Existing RC Structures by Virtue of Nonlinear FEM: Possibilities and Challenges
(The Nordic Concrete Federation (NCF), 2017)
This paper discusses the possibility and challenges of the assessment of the structural integrity and safety of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures by virtue of the nonlinear finite element method (FEM). The ...
Challenges related to structural modelling and assessment of concrete structures affected by alkali-silica reactions
(Norsk Betongforening, 2017)
Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) in concrete is a chemical process between dissolved alkali and hydroxyl ions from pore solutions in the cement paste, and reactive (amorphous) silica within the aggregates. The product of the ...
The effect of reinforcement corrosion on the structural behaviour of prestressed bridges in the Norwegian coastal regions
(Norsk Betongforening, 2017)
Prestressed concrete (PC) is one of the main structural materials used in Norway for bridge structures. Prestressed and precast concrete beams were even used for building the historical Atlantic Road, which has the status ...
Application of response surface method (RSM) on sensitivity analysis of reinforced concrete bridge pier wall
(Norsk Betongforening, 2017)
In this paper, the nonlinear behaviour of a reinforced concrete (RC) bridge pier wall was
evaluated by nonlinear finite element analyses (NLFEA) method. The NLFEA results were
compared to the simulated ...
Analytical study of building height effects over Steel Plate Shear Wall
(Taiwan Association of Engineering and Technology Innovation, 2016)
In the latest three decades, the steel plate shear walls (SPSW) system has emer
ged as a promising lateral load
resisting system for both construction new buildings and retrofit of existing buildings. This system has ...
Effect of span length on behavior of MRF accompanied with CBF and MBF systems
(Elsevier, 2017)
The main objective of this study is to quantify effects of variations of aspect ratio (ratio of span length to story height) and lateral resisting system on response of high-rise steel structures. In the present research ...
Effect of pit distance on failure probability of corroded RC beam
(Elsevier, 2017)
The present paper studies effect of the variation of pit distance on structural reliability of a reinforced concrete (RC) beam, with particular emphasis on the interference of localized corrosion on adjacent tensile rebars. ...
Need for further development in service life modelling of concrete structures in chloride environment
(Elsevier, 2016)
Designing concrete structures for a very long service life may have considerable economic and societ
al benefits including
minimized material co
nsumption over the long term
,
thus contribute ...
Nonlinear FEM Simulation of Structural Performance of CorrodedRC Columns subjected to Axial Compression
(The Nordic Concrete Federation (NCF), 2017)
This paper presents a numerical model for predicting the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with corroded reinforcing steel subjected to axial compression. The influence of the steel corrosion on the mechanical ...
