The Investigation of Cold-Formed Thin-Walled Structural Members with Perforations Subjected to Different Loading Conditions
Reference number. SCEBE/21SF/005/MK. Background. Cold-formed steel sections have become competitive structural components in modern building construction due to their inherent favourable characteristics over conventional hot-rolled steel members. Read more
Corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded within low carbon cement concretes made without Portland cement
Corrosion of reinforcing steel in conventional Portland Cement (PC)-based concretes exposed in challenging environments is a common problem, leading to cracking and spalling and its repair is a big cost to the UK economy. Read more
