The supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are used as a substitute for the cement to
reduce the environmental issues backed by concrete industry for the past three decades …

This article investigates the shear behaviour of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) Z push-
off specimens. Fifteen specimens with different replacement levels of recycled concrete …

The size effect on the flexural behavior of ultra-high-performance hybrid fiber-reinforced
concrete (UHP-HFRC) was investigated. Three different sizes of specimens were tested …

This book is concerned with a leading-edge topic of great interest and importance,
exemplifying the relationship between experimental research, material modeling, structural …

Acoustic emission (AE) energy, instead of amplitude, associated with each of the event is
used to estimate the fracture process zone (FPZ) size. A steep increase in the cumulative AE …

This study addresses the properties of self-compacting concretes (SCCs) produced with
recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) and/or recycled fine aggregates (RFAs) compared to …

This paper describes a comprehensive experimental study of the influence of the
geometrical and mechanical properties of polypropylene fibres on the fracture parameters …

This paper presents the effect of volume of coarse aggregate on fracture characteristics of
self-compacting concrete (SCC). Based on an experimental programme, a series of three …

The characterization of the softening curve from experimental results is essential for
predicting the fracture behavior of quasi-brittle materials like concrete. Among various …

Fracture parameters and cracking behavior of concrete are the most important factors
influencing the fracture mechanism of concrete structures. The use of lightweight and …
