The use of porous concrete in structural elements subjected to compression cyclic loads is
inevitable in those situations in which it is necessary to withstand, simultaneously, important …

Abstract Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), its behavior, and the effects of cyclic loading on its
internal microstructure are studied in this paper. Particular attention is given to the evolution …

The effect of fatigue loads on one of the main mechanical properties of fiber‐reinforced high
strength concrete (FRHSC) is studied in this work. In particular, this paper analyzes the …

This paper evaluates variations in the residual tensile strength of prismatic specimens made
of steel fiber–reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHSC) attributable to flexural cyclic …

The response ranges of three principal mechanical parameters were measured following
cyclic compressive loading of three types of concrete specimen to a pre-defined number of …

Safety assessment with respect to seismic and vertical loads of existing and very old
masonry structures is currently a central topic for the scientific engineering community. In …

Masonry arch bridges are integral to any national infrastructure carrying daily passenger
and freight traffic supporting the national economy, 85% of these assets are single spans …

This paper analyzes how fiber content and orientation influence the behavior of steel fiber-
reinforced concrete subjected to static and cyclic three point bending test, and more …

Fatigue is the process of mechanical degradation of a material, which leads to its collapse.
Repeated load applications with a maximum value lower than the one that provokes the …

1.1 Background Masonry arch bridges are an important part of the transport infrastructure in
the UK and beyond (McKibbins et al., 2006; UIC code 778-3R, 2011). Their functional and …
