Abstract: Wood fiber‐reinforced cement can provide the highest performance‐to‐cost ratio among fibrous cement composites considered for the replacement of asbestos cement. Such composites can find applications in the production of ...

Abstract: A new modeling technique for predicting the behavior of deformed bars anchored in concrete is developed. In the model, the bond between steel and concrete is simulated with discrete springs that connect the bar to concrete ...

Abstract: Wood fiber reinforced cement composites provide the highest performance‐to‐cost ratio among fibrous cement composites being considered for the replacement of asbestos cement. Fairly strong and stiff wood fibers are ...
