The March 2014 issue of the Structural Concrete Journal is now available to fib members via the Wiley Online Library. Topics addressed in this issue are the long-term properties of recycled aggregate concrete, resistance of reinforced concrete members with hollow circular cross-sections, strengthening a 100-year-old reinforced concrete dome, reliability analysis of RC beams strengthened for torsion with carbon fibre composites, staggered lap joints for tension reinforcement, shear in concrete structures subjected to dynamic loads, early-age behaviour of precast concrete immersed tunnel based on degree of hydration concept, structural behaviour and deformation patterns in loaded plain concrete ground-supported slabs, and non-linear analysis of statically indeterminate SFRC columns.
