Abstract: Measurement of deformation history during a high-speed mechanical test plays an important role in establishing the dynamic behavior of materials. Traditional strain measuring techniques such as extensometers and strain ...

Abstract: The pullout response of basalt textile embedded in cementitious matrix specimens was investigated under different loading rates and temperatures. Two types of specimens, basalt single yarn and basalt textile, were tested. ...

Abstract: The shear behavior of basalt fiber–reinforced polymer-reinforced seawater–sea sand concrete (BFRP-SSC) beams was investigated experimentally. The effects of several factors, including stirrup diameters (8, 10, and 12 mm), ...

Abstract: Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is used widely in thin-walled structures due to its unique construction characteristics and superior mechanical properties. However, previous studies of the dynamic flexural properties of ...

Abstract: Dynamic tensile tests are conducted on aluminum alloy (AA) 6061-T6 using a high-speed servohydraulic machine at intermediate strain rates to validate the testing technique and to investigate the strain-rate effect on the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of more than one year’s monitoring efforts and analysis of the effects of environmental variables on the dynamic properties of a selected bridge in Anchorage, Alaska. A seismic monitoring ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of basalt textile-reinforced concrete (BTRC) with and without pretension and with one of two types of short fibers was investigated using an instrumental four-point bending test under quasi-static ...
