One of the most damaging environmental conditions to concrete structure is cyclic freezing
and thawing. This paper discusses the influence of the high volumes of fly ash (FA) and …

Strain-hardening cement-based composites were named after their ability to resist increased
tensile force after crack formation, over a significant tensile deformation range. The …

The mixture proportions of engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) are optimized
through micromechanics-based material design theory to attain high tensile ductility …

In this paper, several widely used material models for plain concrete under dynamic loading,
especially the Concrete Damage model and the Elastic–Plastic Hydrodynamic model are …

As the most popular construction material, concrete has many advantages compared to
other materials. However, its brittle nature causes cracking and results in many deterioration …

E-Defense shake table experiments on a 7.5 m tall, 1.8 m by 1.8 m square bridge column
using polypropylene fiber-reinforced cement composites (PFRC) at the plastic hinge region …

The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) testing with diameter 40 mm was used to
investigate the dynamic mechanical properties of engineered cementitious composites …

This paper presents experimental investigations of the interfacial bond behaviour of different
types of rebar (steel, sand-coated GFRP, and helically-wrapped GFRP bars) and …

Cementitious materials with strain-hardening property and high tensile ductility are
promising materials on account of their mechanical and durability performances. These …

Abstract Evaluation of seismic performance of structures during their lifetime is nowadays an
emerging issue in the research community. In particular, a key aspect concerns the …
