TL;DR: A detailed review of the major and latest findings regarding concrete shrinkage types, influencing parameters, and their impacts on concrete properties is provided in this article, where the efficiency of available chemical and mineral admixtures in controlling the shrinkage of concrete is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized and compared the general conclusions of recent works on evaluating the structural performance of RCC dams and provided a clear view on how to improve its performance under various loading conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the time history behavior of various base isolated reinforced concrete models subjected to pulse-like earthquakes with low and high PGA/PGV ratios, and the results of the study showed that the behavior of the isolator is influenced by the building irregularity type and the PGA /PGV ratio significantly.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors classified the tensile strength and behavior of soil into direct and indirect ways depending on the loading conditions, and compared the available tests for investigating the soil tensile behavior.

TL;DR: In this article , a review of safety management processes and their elements including safety indicators as well as discusses the process of optimizing maintenance strategies using reliability and risk assessment approaches for offshore structures.
