The mechanical performance of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) depends greatly
on fiber orientation and distribution. In this paper, the effect of fiber orientation on ECC's …

This study examines the feasibility of using waste cardboard as a lightweight construction
material through experimentations. Waste carboards are burnt or dumped legally or illegally …

Over-extraction of aggregates from natural sources with rapid urbanization as well as
massive waste generation in construction industry have imposed the need to utilize waste …

The initiation of micro-cracks in concrete is primarily due to its brittleness, which causes
severe impacts on the overall behaviour of the concrete. However, incorporating fibers in …

Because of their brittleness, traditional Portland cement-based composites are inherently
weaker under tensile loads. This issue becomes worse in geopolymer (GPL) composites by …

The production of calcined mud, with pozzolanic properties, from the large quantities of
sediments dredged from Algerian dams, could be a good opportunity for the formulation of …
