Cracks in concrete are inevitable and for durability reasons, the cracks should be repaired.
Concrete has the intrinsic property to heal itself. But, the passive form of autogenous healing …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) which shows prominent tensile ductility and
toughness, and fine multiple cracking, meets the high requirements of safety and durability …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a kind of High Performance Fiber
Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) with a low fiber volume content of 2%. The …

Concrete is a material which can cope with high compressive stresses, but has a low tensile
strength. Adding reinforcements increases the strength in tension but the composite will …

This paper presents the analysis of crack propagation in strain-hardening cement-based
composite (SHCC) under tensile and flexural load by using acoustic emission (AE). AE is a …

The tensile performance of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–steel hybrid fiber reinforced engineered
cementitious composite special focus on impacts of steel fiber content and matrix strength …

This thesis provides a significant amount of information on the use of a new advanced
polymer (polyolefin-based) especially suitable in the form of fibres to be added to concrete …

Om het productieproces van geprefabriceerde voorgespannen betonnen liggers verder te
kunnen optimaliseren, is in samenwerking met Megaton (onderdeel van de Willy Naessens …

Macro synthetic fibres are known to significantly improve the toughness and energy
absorption capacity of conventional concrete in the short term. However, since macro …

The research presented in this paper has been motivated by the need to numerically
simulate performance of high strength fiber reinforced concrete (HSFRC) structural elements …
