The old industrial buildings once occupied by the tricot manufacturers Pyynikin Trikootehdas are once again full of life – now as high-quality housing and versatile commercial facilities that form an...
1982 marked a kind of a turning point in the Concrete Structure of the Year competition: it was the year when architectural and aesthetic values in general played an equal...
The objective of the thesis is clarify shear design according to second-generation Eurocode for concrete structures (EN 1992-1-1:2023) for posttensioned beam and identify good practical solutions for shear design and...
Concrete compaction quality is crucial for structural strength and durability, as entrapped pores weaken concrete while segregation risks uneven material distribution. Hassan Ahmed at Aalto University analyzed compaction effectiveness by...
High temperatures due to heat of hydration are a common phenomenon in early-age massive concrete structures. As too high maximum temperatures and temperature differences may cause strength and durability problems...
