This paper presents an experimental study on the durability properties of concretes
containing Turkish Class C and Class F fly ashes. A total of 39 mixtures with different mix …

Durability and ductility of plain cement concrete (PC) can be upgraded by the simultaneous
incorporation of fibers and supplementary cementitious materials. To this end, influence of …

Fly ash (FA) has been a necessary ingredient for engineered cementitious composites
(ECCs) with excellent tensile strain capacity and multiple cracking. However, ECC with high …

Steel-basalt hybrid fibers reinforced cement-based composites (SBFRCC) have excellent
mechanical properties at ambient temperature. Conducting research on the behavior of …

Highlights•The presence of microcracks in the composite matrix is related to the resistance
