Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted to study the shear strength of full-scale beams constructed with both chemically based self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and conventional concrete (CC). This experimental program ...

Abstract: The production of portland cement—the key ingredient in concrete-generates a significant amount of carbon dioxide. However, due to its incredible versatility, availability, and relatively low cost, concrete is the most ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the development and testing of long carbon fibers—fibers 75 mm long or longer—to improve the resistance of reinforced concrete to dynamic loading, such as blasts and impact. In the past, attempts to ...
