Discrete Model for the Structure and Strength of Cementitious Materials
(2017)
Cementitious materials are characterized by brittle behavior in direct tension and by transverse dilatation (due to microcracking) under compression. Microcracking causes increasingly larger transverse strains and a ...
The performance of corroded lap splices in reinforced concrete beams
(2017)
This article presents the results of an extensive experimental program containing 22 beams with tension lap splices in the central region. The beams were preconditioned under simulated corrosion up to specific levels of ...
Experimental investigation on the confining effect of fibers in SHFRCC
(2017)
Strain Hardening Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (SHFRCC) comprise of a mix design that differs from normal concrete mixes. Fibers act as mass reinforcement leading to large deformation capacities, bridging of the ...
