Fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) has been widely used due to its perfect mechanical
performance, but inclusion of fibers has a decisive influence on the fresh properties …

The complicated tunnelling conditions and variable engineering demands have made
numerous challenges of mesh-reinforced lining structures. Thereafter, the steel fiber …

Concrete has high brittleness along with low tensile strength and tensile strain capacities.
Such unsatisfactory performance can be improved with the addition of steel fibers in …

In order to solve the problem of low toughness and easy cracking of recycled aggregate
concrete, steel fibers were incorporated to recycled fine aggregate concrete (RAC) to …

In this work, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were dispersed uniformly in aqueous solution
using methylcellulose (MC) as a dispersing agent via ultrasonic processing. Homogenous …

With addition of steel fibers to concrete, its properties are altered from brittle to ductile. Using
lightweight concrete enables decrease in additional loads while self-compacted concrete …

This paper presents a modified concrete damaged plasticity model (CDPM) based on
ABAQUS, in order to accurately simulate the mechanical responses of steel-polypropylene …

This study showcases the predictive and optimization capabilities of response surface
methodology with respect to the fresh and hardened properties of waste tyre steel fibre …

Abstract Dapped-end beams (DEBs), also known as thinned end beams, are often
experienced in shear damages under the effect of vertical loads. Especially if the necessary …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) which is characterized by high strength, high
ductility and high toughness has been widely applied in modern structure construction …
