Abstract: A model for use in simulating the response of reinforced concrete interior beam–column joints is developed and evaluated using an extensive experimental data set. This model builds on previous work by Lowes and Altoontash ...

Abstract: The surface morphology of fibers influence the global performance of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites. Commercially available polypropylene fibers may be coated with polyglycol ester to facilitate the fiber production ...

Abstract: Performance evaluation of cementitious mortar reinforced with natural fibers (jute) and synthetic (polypropylene) fibers is carried out in this article with respect to mechanical response and life cycle cost estimation. ...

Abstract: Microstructural changes in concrete, mortar, and cementitious composite material were investigated to determine the efficacy of these materials subjected to shock loading. An experimental methodology with the ability to ...

Abstract: Hydrated cement produces the strength and stiffness of concrete, a widely utilized infrastructural material. Estimation of elastic constants of hydrated cement, a heterogeneous material consisting of numerous constituents, ...
