Z-pin reinforcements in composite materials significantly enhance the through-thickness strength by providing strong bridging forces on the delaminated surfaces of a damaged …
Fracture behaviour of polyolefin fibre reinforced concrete (PFRC) has proved to be suitable for structural design in construction elements. As in other fibre reinforced materials, the …
Polyolefin based macro-fibres have proved their good performance for the structural reinforcing of concrete with fracture behaviour comparable to that of steel fibres but being …

A unique constitutive model for fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is presented, which combines a number of mechanics-based sub models for the simulation of directional …
Most codes for the design of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) structures are based on experience gained over the years with steel fibers. Recent codes include the possibility of …
In this paper a hierarchical multiscale modelling method is proposed to analyse the strain- hardening and multiple-cracking tensile fracture behaviour of engineered cementitious …
In this paper, an extended finite element model is developed for accurate and effective modelling of the tensile strain-hardening and multiple-cracking behaviour of engineered …
