This paper presents an experimental study on crack bridging in steel-fiber-reinforced
concrete (SFRC) materials under deformation-controlled uniaxial fatigue tension. Two types …

This thesis describes a study to evaluate and explain the nature of the damage caused by
fire to high performance concrete (HPC) material. The study includes the two main parts …

Effect of sand addition on the mechanical properties of cast and extruded polyvinyl acetate
fiber-reinforced cement composites was investigated. The addition of sand increased the …

One of the bottlenecks identified blocking a widespread use of fiber reinforced concrete is
the lack of consistent design and testing methods. It is the purpose of the present paper to …

Abstract Effects of fiber length and sand addition on the mechanical performance of cast and
extruded PVA fiber reinforced cement composites were investigated. Microstructural …

Mode I crack propagation in fiber reinforced concrete is simulated by a fracture mechanics
approach. A superposition method is applied to calculate the crack tip stress intensity factor …

The complexity of cementitious composites particularly, discrete fiber reinforced
cementitious composites (FRC), is widely recognized. The development of analytical stress …

Wie bei der Beschreibung der Materialeigenschaften verdeutlicht wurde (Kapitel 2), wird die
Wirksamkeit der Fasern erst nach erfolgter Rißbildung, dh nach Übergang in Zustand II …
