Concrete slabs-on-ground develop curl when a moisture or temperature gradient exists between the top and bottom surfaces of the slab. As the exposed top surface dries and shrinks relative to the ...
Numerous studies revealed optimization techniques' applicability in minimizing the costs of reinforced concrete buildings. However, the existing literature has narrowly focused on optimizing buildings ...
Contraction joints (sometimes called control joints) are used in unreinforced and lightly reinforced slabs-on-ground to minimize random cracking. By creating straight-line weakened-planes in concrete, ...
The continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) system grapples with challenges such as non-uniform transverse crack patterns and the need for substantial reinforcement. Field research on the ...
