Use of macro plastic fibres to reinforce concrete has attracted widespread attention from
both scientists and construction industry due to the multiple sustainability benefits they offer …

Using precast concrete pipes to develop sewage water transportation systems is important
for keeping hygienic, safe, and sustainable urban environments. This study reviews the state …

The practical application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches in estimating the
mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) subjected to high temperatures …

Synthetic plastics are typically discarded, thus causing environmental pollution. Plastic
wastes are recycled as fiber in concrete to solve this problem. In this study, synthetic fibers in …

It is widely known that addition of steel fibers to concrete improves properties of concrete
having brittle behavior. This affects the behavior in a positive way particularly by increasing …

The increasing aging of underground pipe networks and the lack of effective inspection
technologies present considerable challenges for whole life-cycle management of these …

There has been growing interest in using trenchless technology, especially centrifugal
spraying techniques, to renovate the sewer pipe network in China. In this study, a damaged …

This paper focuses on the study of the structural response of hyperstatic concrete flat
suspended slabs reinforced only with structural plastic macro-fibres. First, the experimental …

The recent publication of codes for the design of FRC is a major step towards extending the
use of the material. An in depth analysis indicates several differences between the …

In this investigational study, the fracture and bending performance of reinforced concrete
beams (RC-Bs) with varying proportions of plastic waste (PW), considered as fine aggregate …
