Reinforced concrete structures are often damaged by corrosion, which affects the interaction between reinforcement bars and concrete. Earlier studies mostly applied artificial corrosion to test the bond between deformed bars and concrete. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the effects of natural corrosion on plain bars. In this paper, 20 beam...
The world population will continue to grow, resulting in an overpopulated planet and increased urbanization. This creates several problems, such as heat stress in cities, reduced biodiversity and the disappearance of greenery in cities. The World Health Organization has made a list of indicators based on which the sustainability of cities can be as...
This Special Issue covers the broad topic of structural integrity of non-metallic materials, and it is concerned with the modelling, assessment and reliability of structural elements of any scale. In particular, the articles being contained in this issue concentrate on the mechanics of fracture and fatigue in relation to applications to a variety o...

The ruthenium-based photosensitizer (PS) TLD1433 has completed a phase I clinical trial for photodynamic therapy (PDT) treatment of bladder cancer. Here, we investigated a possible repurposing of this drug for treatment of conjunctival melanoma (CM). CM is a rare but often deadly ocular cancer. The efficacy of TLD1433 was tested on several cell lin...

Although concrete utilization in the construction and building sectors is widespread in the world, the risk of concrete degradation, especially in harsh environments, still exists. This research deals with the impacts of adding silica fume (SF) into Portland cement on compressive strength and durability properties of concrete exposing to sulfuric a...

Stirrups of reinforced concrete members are very prone to corrosion compared with longitudinal reinforcements, resulting from their small concrete covers, which lead to concrete cracking and spalling. Due to the adverse effects of corrosion, this article aims to investigate the amount of reduction in the capacity of reinforced concrete specimens in...

Pore pressure and thermal dehydration of concrete are two major factors which affect the spalling of concrete at high temperatures. Thermal dehydration can cause deterioration of concrete properties and promote the development of micro cracks in the skeleton of concrete. Pore pressure will also be influenced by dehydration when the hydrated water e...
