In this paper the flexural behavior of a strain-hardening engineered cementitious composite
(ECC) is studied and compared with that observed in a regular fiber-reinforced cementitious …

Unlike other fiber types, carbon fibers tend to possess a distribution of fiber lengths even
before mixing into a cementitious matrix. During mixing, some amount of fiber rupture may …

The research reported here investigated the pull-out behavior of deformed reinforcing bars
embedded in fiber-reinforced-concrete (FRC) and high-performance-fiber-reinforced …

It is well known that fiber reinforcement is an effective way of improving toughness of brittle
materials. However, it is less clear how fiber reinforcement (particularly for random …

The J‐based fracture testing technique is newly extended to experimentally determine the
tension‐softening (σ–δ) relations in ceramic‐matrix composites. The J‐based technique …

The main objective of this research is to study and develop predictive models that covers
various fundamental mechanisms influencing the stress-strain response of fiber reinforced …

This book derives from the invited IUTAM Symposium in September 1993. The contributions
discuss recent advances in fracture mechanics studies of concrete, rock, ceramics and other …

Beton und andere zementgebundenen Werkstoffe stehen bei der Initiierung und
Ausbreitung von Rissen meist unter mehrachsiger Beanspruchung. Zur Charakterisierung …
