Abstract: Self-compacting lightweight aggregate concrete (SCLC) has attracted growing attention because of its self-compacting performance and good workability, thus the mechanical properties of SCLC and the structural performances ...

Abstract: To ensure the safety of concrete structures under fatigue loading, the fatigue crack propagation in concrete needs to be evaluated accurately. In this paper, a numerical method for mixed mode I-II fatigue crack propagation ...

Abstract: This paper presents the influence of the loading velocity on the fracture response of mortars with both natural hydraulic and aerial limes under three different rates (loading-point displacement rates, 5.0×10−4, 5.0×10−1, ...
