DOI: 10.1177/13694332221098869
Abstract: Lightweight concrete (LC) is a viable alternative for conventional normal weight concrete (NC). It has a reduced weight and similar properties. However, shear provisions design codes are way behind for the case of the LC… read more here.

DOI: 10.12989/scs.2021.38.5.599
Abstract: The ultimate strength behaviour of sandwich composite beams with J-hooks and normal weight concrete (SCSSBJNs) are studied through two-point loading tests on ten full-scale SCSSBJNs. The test results show that the SCSSBJN with different parameters… read more here.
