Abstract: Using the details of a previous study in which the flexural response of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) was accurately predicted from a constitutive model, explicit expressions for the first crack and the ultimate ...

Abstract: The uniaxial compressive response of steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) subjected to high strain rate loading is presented. Details of an experimental investigation using a 75-mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar ...

Abstract: A C-core sandwich panel consists of two facing plates connected top and bottom to a core of C-shaped stiffeners. Sandwich panels of this type have high bending and shear-stiffness characteristic in the direction of the ...

Abstract: Tests on large diameter specimens using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) facility are essential to obtain representative dynamic characteristics of engineering materials such as rocks, concrete, and steel fiber-reinforced ...
