Abstract: Fracture energy represents the average total energy consumption during a complete crack propagation process. The use of one fracture property, the RILEM fracture energy, on its own is not sufficient to characterize the ...

Abstract: This research makes a further contribution to the existing knowledge regarding textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) structural members, and the proposed component combines the advantages of TRC and reinforced concrete (RC). ...

Abstract: This paper examines the fracture energy properties over ligament length for crack propagation process accompanied by fracture process zone (FPZ) advancement. Local fracture energy as well as its average value along the ...

Abstract: Graphene and graphene oxide (GO) sheets have great potential to improve the properties of traditional cement-based building materials. This research studied the effects of graphene and GO sheets on the flexural and compressive ...

Abstract: Many attempts have been focused on the textile reinforced mortar structures. The advantages of textiles are mainly a very good load bearing capacity, excellent ductility, thin size and light weight of components, resistance ...

Abstract: The shear behavior of reinforced ultrahigh toughness cementitious composite (RUHTCC) beams without transverse reinforcement was investigated in the present paper, in which UHTCC has tensile strain-hardening behavior due ...

Abstract: This paper presented the investigation on shear behaviors of reinforced ultrahigh toughness cementitious composite (RUHTCC) slender beams with stirrups under center-point loading, where UHTCC possessed the tensile ...

Abstract: In this research, the multiple impact resistance of hybrid fiber ultrahigh toughness cementitious composites (UHTCC) was studied. By varying the impact velocity, different degrees of initial damage were first induced in ...
