A cohesive-zone model for a fiber-reinforced polymer–matrix composite is presented. A two-
parameter model with a characteristic toughness and a characteristic strength can be used …

More efficient and industrialised construction methods are both necessary for
thecompetitiveness of in-situ concrete and essential if the construction industry is to …

Kurzfaserbeton ist die bedeutendste Anwendung für Fasern im Beton. Technologisch
bedingt liegt die Obergrenze für den Fasergehalt bei etwa 6 Vol.-%. Bei höheren …

The pullout behaviour of steel fibres from a refractory castable was characterized through
high temperature pullout tests and scanning electron microscopy observations. The effects …

Thermoplastic poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) fibers have been used to toughen an
intrinsically brittle epoxy resin with high glass transition temperature. The morphologies and …

The effect of short Aramid fibers on the fracture and toughening behavior of epoxy with high
glass transition temperature has been studied. Fine dispersion of the fibers throughout the …

The SEM observation on the cuticle of dorbeetle shows that the cuticle is composed of chitin
fibers and protein matrix. The diameter of chitin fibers is from several to several-hundred …

A theoretical study was performed to investigate the behavioral chracteristics and shear
strength of fiber reinforced concrete slender beams. In the fiber reinforced concrete beam …

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation on a Rufescens shell shows that the
shell is a bio-ceramic composite consisting of aragonite sheets with nanometer scale and …

Ce domaine de recherche a pour but de définir les applications possibles du «Béton Fibré à
Ultra Hautes Performances»(BFUHP) aux structures du génie civil, et les critères qui en …
