Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) has received much attention in civil engineering in recent
years, mainly due to it improves the weak tensile strength and shrinkage cracks of concrete …

Conventional Portland cement-based composites are inherently weak under tensile
stresses, due to its high brittleness quotient, and the problem gets further aggravated in …

The effect of uncoated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibre addition on dynamic properties of fibre
reinforced concrete (FRC) has been investigated in the current study. PVA fibres of two …

In order to investigate the influence of the coupling effect of sodium sulfate dry-wet (DW)
cycles on the mechanical properties of carbon-polyvinyl alcohol hybrid fiber reinforced …

Concrete structures are susceptible to cracking, which can compromise their integrity and
durability. Repairing them with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) paste causes shrinkage …

The influence of graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber on the mechanical
performance, durability, and microstructure of cement-based materials was investigated in …

This paper presents an experimental study on improving the post-cracking and the fracture
behavior of engineered geopolymer composite containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers …

The development of new generation concrete by eliminating the coarser particles such as
coarse aggregate and utilization of micro-particles like silica fume, quartz powder and sand …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study that investigated the effects of two
parameters: sand/fly ash (S/FA) ratio and water to geopolymer-solid (W/GS) ratio on the …

The present work presents the results of the experimental investigation of using crushed
concrete as recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and new models of hybrid deep beams. Six …
