| The number of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) is expected to increase significantly in the coming years to face the challenges of the current global decarbonization policies. The use of materials such as Reinforced Concrete in the floating substructures becomes then attractive for reducing both maintenance and chain manufacturing costs, as seen in different industrial scale prototypes such ...

| This paper presents a simplified analytical model for predicting the resistance of ship bottom plating when a ship runs aground over a large rock idealised as an elliptic paraboloid. During a powered grounding, the structural damage caused by such event is greatly influenced by the rock shape. Sharp rocks usually lead to several breaches while wider rocks will rather lead to a global deformation o...

| Existing literature on ship grounding simulation shows that most researchers assume the ship position as fixed and let the obstruction geometry to impact the ship model. Moreover, the focus is usually put on either pure raking or pure stranding events and the effect of surrounding water is rarely considered. The numerical simulations carried out in this study illustrate that the damage extent may ...

| Chloride induced corrosion of steel reinforcement is one of the most critical deterioration that causes durability problems on reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Therefore, extending service life through repairing becomes an important mission in maintenance strategies of RC structures. However, the ability to prolong service life by concrete repair is affected by several factors, such as quality...

| Concrete 3D printing, a cutting edge manufacturing technology, is grasping increasing interest in the construction industry. Striking a balance between extrudability and buildability of printable cement based materials is crucial to ensure successful printing. Although rheology is widely used to assess flow properties, it can bring several challenges when assessing flow properties of stiff materia...

| In this work, it was analyzed in detail the problem of the extensive cracking in the pile cap foundation originated by the delayed ettringite formation, possibly from a high heat of hydration coming from the concreting of the large volume of concrete. Laboratory tests were performed to evaluate the transport properties of concrete samples, as well as their physical and chemical composition using a...

| Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) on concrete structures is an important issue in controlling its performance during its service life. Data obtained using this technology can provide valuable information for decision making about the needs for corrective interventions that can ensure the integrity and safety of concrete structures. When concrete structures exhibit internal expansions due to the s...

| Early deterioration of foundations of reinforced concrete building has been reported with relative frequency in last years. This this deterioration process is often characterized by an extensive mapping cracking process on concrete surfaces that occurs due to several types of internal swelling reaction. In this paper, a real case study of a tall reinforced concrete building that presented a severe...
