Common concretes use considerable amounts of fresh water and river sand, and their excessive use is already seriously implicating the environment. In this respect, seawater and sea sand concrete (SWSSC) is a very attractive alternative, since it addresse...

The sudden occurrence of an earthquake induces a liquefaction effect on foundation soil, which causes a substantial increase in the uplift pressure acting on piles and causes structural damage to superstructures. This forms the basis of the necessity of ...

The rehabilitation of steel structures with Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP?s) may appear less effective because they can be bolted or welded with steel plates that display the same mechanical properties. However, this technique has some unwanted conseque...

Modern architecture suggests the use of opened spaces with large transparent envelope surfaces. Therefore, windows of long widths and large heights are needed. In order to withstand the wind loads, such wooden windows can be reinforced with stiffer mater...
