Abstract: Progressive collapse is the cause of most structural failures around the world. The US General Service Administration (GSA) has presented guidelines for the assessment of the vulnerability of building structures to progressive collapse. It has been established in literature that the philosophy of ductility and redundancy used in seismic design is b... Show More

Abstract: The influence of chloride ions content on the sea sand concrete performance was investigated through testing the sea sand mortar strength in this paper. The concrete strength rule was analyzed to discover the early strength for the sea sand concrete by the presence of chloride. In addition, the XRD microscopic analysis and TG/DTA were observed the ... Show More
