Abstract: The main objective of the present research is to develop a rational model to predict the elastic modulus of fiber‐reinforced, quasibrittle matrices such as cement and ceramic matrices. Generally, the elastic modulus of a ...

Abstract: This is the first of a two‐part paper involving a fundamental study of bond in fiber‐reinforced cement composites. The concept of a relationship between the bond shear stress and the local slip at the interface between the ...

Abstract: This is the second of a two‐part paper involving a fundamental study of the bond‐stress‐slip relationship between steel fibers and cement‐based matrices. It presents a validation of the analytical model developed in the ...
