Abstract: In this research, using the Bažant size effect law and applying cylindrical circumferential notched specimens, the mode III fracture energy of the steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) is calculated. It ...

Abstract: Despite the extensive studies in the literature on using copper slag (CS) as fine aggregate within normal concrete to alleviate the thermal cracking of samples exposed to high temperatures, very limited investigations ...

Abstract: This paper aims to develop an optimal design mixture for concrete containing lightweight expanded clay aggregates (LECA) and silica fume with a holistic view in which the mechanical properties, strength retention at elevated ...
