An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete (2018)
Journal Article

Cathodic protection (CP) is being increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcing bars from corrosion in aggressive conditions. Due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the design specifications in national...

Influence of railway loading on the performance of soil-filled masonry arch bridges (2018)
Journal Article

Masonry arch bridges are found in large numbers on the rail networks of Europe and other parts of the world. However, the mode of response of masonry arch structures subjected to railway loading is little understood. To address this, an experimental...

Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture (2018)
Journal Article

Previous studies show that both metakaolin (MK) and polymer can respectively improve certain mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Also, recent studies show that a combination of MK and polymer further enhances the mechanical properties b...
