Nowadays limestone powder and blast furnace slag (BFS) are widely used in concrete as
blended materials in cement. The replacement of Portland cement by limestone powder and …

It is well known that fibers can impart tensile ductility into fiber cement products. Specific
rational guideline for engineering desirable fiber, matrix, and interface properties leading to …

Because conventional concrete is brittle and tends to crack easily under mechanical and
environmental loads, there are concerns with durability. During the past decade, the effort to …

The use of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete, SFRSCC, probably, will swiftly
increase in the next years, since this composite material introduces several advantages on …

In this study, an inverse analysis approach is developed to obtain the fracture parameters of
concrete, including stress–crack opening relationship, cracking and tensile strength as well …

The present investigation focuses on a new approach for the construction of durable
concrete structures. Using Pseudo-ductile Cementitious Composites (PDCC) of relatively …

A recent experiment of layered stainless steel with nanostructured interface has suggested
that a brittle interface can lead to an overall structure with high ductility. Here a cohesive …

This paper presents a prediction and simulation method of tensile stress-strain curves of
Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). For this purpose, the bridging stress and crack …

In the present work, a micromechanics-based fiber-bridging constitutive model that
quantitatively takes into consideration the distribution of fiber orientation and the number of …

This study aims to clarify experimentally the uniaxial tension–compression fatigue behavior
and fiber bridging stress degradation of strain hardening fiber reinforced cementitious …
