The present paper investigates the feasibility of using recycled CFRP fibers in self-
compacting concrete. The fresh and hardened properties of the reinforced self-compacting …

Low fracture toughness of concrete represents a serious shortcoming. An effective way to
improve the concrete toughness is represented by the dispersion (during mixing) of …

Owing to its superior mechanical properties, graphene has been used to reinforce and
substantially improve the strength of composite materials. Still lacking, however, is a clear …

Mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol–steel hybrid fiber–reinforced engineered
cementitious composite (ECC) with a high-strength cement matrix are experimentally …

The seismic performance of steel reinforced engineered cementitious composite (RECC)
short columns was investigated in this study. RECC columns with various shear span-to …

A new constitutive model for fibre reinforced cementitious composites based on
micromechanical solutions is proposed. The model employs a two-phase composite based …

This study aims to predict the early-age crack width of thin fiber reinforced concrete (FRC)
overlays through the modified prediction equation and finite element modeling. The …

The viability of employing fibre reinforcement to improve the durability performance of RC
structures by delaying and/or reducing rebar corrosion and by mitigating the structural …

Natural fibres as dispersed reinforcement in cement-based materials may represent an
interesting alternative to industrial fibres, because of their good mechanical properties and …

Engineered cementitious composites (ECC) possesses characteristics that make it suitable
in the zones of high shear and ductility demand of structural elements; however, there is a …
