The push for sustainability in the construction sector has demanded the use of increasingly
renewable resources. These natural fibers are biodegradable and non-toxic, and their …

Different from the typical bi-linear stress-strain response, many recent studies have reported
a stress reduction-recovery response (ie, a three-segment behavior of strain hardening …

Today, it's getting harder to find natural resources for concrete production. Utilization of the
waste materials not just helps in getting them used in concrete, cement, and other …

A large number of experimental studies have been conducted over the last two decades to
understand the behavior of FRP-confined concrete columns. This paper presents a …

Accurate prediction of stress–strain relationship of concrete is of vital importance to
accurately predict the overall structural behavior of reinforced concrete members. The …

Due to its superior mechanical properties and durability, ultra-high performance concrete
(UHPC) or ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) has emerged as a …

Concrete is a commonly used building material; however, it is subject to abrupt failure and
limited energy absorption when yielding. The use of short discrete fibers has displayed a lot …

Abstract'Concrete needs some tensile reinforcement to enhance tensile strength and avoid
unacceptable brittle nature. This study is supported out to estimate the characteristics of …

This paper presents an experimental study on the compressive behavior of ultra-high
performance concrete (UHPC) confined with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. A …

Concrete is brittle in nature which is why different materials have been used to improve this
inherent behavior of concrete. In this experimental study, the effect of simultaneous use of …
