...Pavan Kumar; Umesh Kumar Sharma; A. B. Danie Roy Concrete structures exposed to elevated temperatures during fires undergo significant degradation of their transport properties. Knowledge of this is crucial for assessing structural serviceability and guiding effective repair strategies. Restoring...

...Ivo Figueiredo Dias; António Lopes Batista An integrated model, developed at the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering, to simulate the structural behaviour of dams affected by concrete swelling is presented. The model considers the influence of temperature, humidity, stress field...

... and laboratory tests. The environmental conditions are modelled and implemented in numerical simulations. The results indicate that solar insolation and rainfall are critical parameters for modelling the environmental conditions as well as ambient temperature and relative humidity. After the concrete specimens...
