In the past decade significant advances have been made in the field of high performance
concretes (HPC). The next generation of concrete, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) …

Rapid repair and retrofit of existing infrastructures demand durable high-early-strength
materials that not only deliver sufficient strength within a few hours of placement but also …

The pseudo strain-hardening behavior of fiber reinforced engineered cementitious
composites (ECC) is a desirable characteristic for it to act as a substitute for concrete to …

This paper examines the rate dependence in engineered cementitious composite (ECC), a
promising material for seismic, impact-, and blast-applications. Research focus has been …

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Special Truss Moment Frame (STMF) is a relatively new type of
steel structural system that was developed for resisting forces and deformations induced by …

Ultra-high performance concrete exhibits sufficient tensile strength and tensile toughness
that structurally efficient use of these concretes demands that the tensile capabilities be …

Material laws for structural and durability design of conventional reinforced concrete
structures can be based on comprehensive results of intensive investigations during more …

There are suitable test methods to determine fracture energy and strain softening of normal
concrete. SHCC have a pronounced pseudo-plastic behavior. Therefore it is questionable if …
