    Abstract: The boron active belite (BAB) cement is a cement type different from Portland cement due to the presence of B2O3 at 3-4%, low hydration temperature, low early strength and high final strength. In this study, concretes with three similar gradations were produced using BAB, CEM I 42.5 and CEM II 32.5 cements. Prepared cylindrical (Ø100/200 mm) concre... Show More

    Abstract: This paper aimed to experimentally and analytically investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) short capsule-shaped columns confined with carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets. The efficiency of FRP-confined strengthening system depends mainly on different encountered parameters such as the FRP confinement ratio, shape and size of... Show More

    Abstract: The study considered the effects of curing methods on the compressive strength of kenaf stabilised lateritic mortar at 1:5 and 1:10 cement-aggregate mix ratio. Composition of the mortar for each of the cement mix ratios was also substituted with kenaf fibres at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5% by weight. The effects of these factors on compressive st...

    Abstract: Despite the dramatic improvements in construction safety made over the past few decades, the construction industry as a whole is still nowhere near reaching the Zero Injury goal, let alone the Zero Incident goal. The purpose of this paper is to provide an approach to continue improvements of safety performance in order to reach the Zero Incident go... Show More
