This paper reports and discusses the results of an experimental investigation on fracture
properties of high-performance concrete, involving the tests of 115 three-point bend …

The paper presented herein investigates the mechanical performance of concrete involving
lightweight and normal weight aggregates with similar compressive strength. For this, two …

In this paper, a numerical and experimental study has been performed to determine a
desirable set of values of concrete damaged plasticity (CDP) model parameters which could …

Synchrotron accelerator facilities such as the NSLS II require extreme stability, both transient
(short-term) and quasi-static (long-term) to achieve the desired resolution performance …

Numerical modeling of fracture failure is challenging due to various issues in the constitutive
law and the transition of continuum to discrete bodies. Therefore, this study presents the …

A simple experimental investigation is performed to measure how different fracture
parameters of concrete are dependent on the displacement rate. One of the simplest …

The post-cracking behavior of concrete reinforced with macro synthetic polypropylene fibers
was investigated in this work. Three series of concretes, normal strength, high strength, and …

There are several reasons why geopolymer (GP) is substituting Portland cement as a binder
in concrete, like its high strength, ultra-porosity, low drying shrinkage, low creep and high …
