A new thermal integrity method for pile anomaly detection
( DEStech Publications Inc. , 2019 , Conference Paper)Anomaly detection is a hot topic in pile construction which is a complex one due to the intrinsic nature of underground structures, such as limited accessibility, large depth and complex soil profile. Several traditional ... -
Cyclic loading effects on soil-energy pile interaction
( CRC Press/Balkema , 2016 , Conference Paper)To reduce greenhouse gas emission from space heating and cooling, energy piles have been used in buildings as an alternative renewable energy source for approximate by two decades. However, the effects of cyclic thermal ... -
Effect of self-healing calcium nitrate microcapsules on concrete properties
( National Research Council , 2016 , Article)Self-healing concrete with microencapsulated calcium nitrate was investigated. The compressive strength of concrete admixed with microcapsules (as a percentage of the weight of the cement) was tested and compared with that ... -
Microencapsulation of calcium nitrate for concrete applications
( National Research Council , 2016 , Article)The use of encapsulating healing agents that allow the self-healing of concrete has emerged as a potential solution to the current decay and costly maintenance of concrete infrastructure; however, many healing agents are ... -
Nonlinear finite element analysis of fibre-reinforced polymer/concrete joints
( SAGE Publications Inc. , 2016 , Article)The objective of this research work is to simulate the interfacial shear response of fibre-reinforced polymer/concrete joints using a micromechanics-based concrete approach. The M4 version of the microplane concrete theory ...
