Geopolymers are recently regarded as superior sustainable alkali-activated binders (AAB)
for soil improvement due to their good bonding properties. In this study, the mixture of …

Steel fiber size and fiber distribution synergistically influence the tensile behavior of ultra-
high performance concrete (UHPC). The suitable aspect ratio of steel fiber can improve …

This paper reports the results of an experimental study of the shear strength of plain
concrete made using recycled low-strength concrete coarse aggregates (RCA) and natural …

Concrete is currently the most used man-made construction material. Unfortunately it is
prone to defects, such as cracks. Crack repair is possible by incorporation of superabsorbent …

Abstract The Strut-and-Tie Method (STM) is a versatile and powerful approach widely used
in the design and analysis of reinforced concrete structures, particularly in regions with …

Renovation, restoration, remodeling, refurbishment, and the retrofitting of buildings often
imply applying forces (ie, concentrated loads) to beams that before were subjected to …

In order to study the axial tensile properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete, an
axial tensile test device for concrete is developed in this paper. The device is composed of …

Testing of concrete panels subjected to pure in-plane shear loading is necessary to
elucidate the shear behavior of concrete. However, available data for predicting the shear …

Tensile strength is a key parameter governing tensile cracking and subsequent failure of soil
or rock mass. Existing methods for measuring tensile strength are mainly designed for hard …

Through experimental and theoretical studies, this research explores the materials,
structural, and environmental aspects of multi‐grade concrete (MGC), a potentially …
