Abstract: External bonding of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) to concrete members has been established as an efficient and effective method for structural strengthening and retrofitting. Direct shear test is often employed to study ...

Abstract: The technique of bonding fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) plates on the tensile side of concrete members has been proved to be an effective method for structural strengthening. For a RC beam strengthened with FRP plates, ...

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is a class of high performance cementitious composites with pseudo strain-hardening behavior and excellent crack control when subjected to ...

Abstract: Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) is a class of high performance cementitious composites with pseudo strain hardening behavior and excellent crack control. Substitution of concrete with ECC can avoid the cracking and ...

Abstract: The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in structural engineering has attracted great attention due to high tensile strength, good fatigue performance, and inherent corrosion resistance. Engineered cementitious ...

Abstract: Geopolymers have been long recognized as the next-generation building material due to environmental reasons. However, geopolymers are inherently brittle and usually require high-temperature curing. This paper was intended ...

Abstract: This paper was intended to investigate the effect of temperature on the low-velocity impact behaviors of engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Two kinds of commonly used chopped fibers, i.e., polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) ...

Abstract: Sticky rice–lime mortar, a representative ancient binding material widely employed in construction applications across Asian countries, has been a subject of substantial academic research and development efforts for its ...
