Abstract: The flexible composites discussed in this paper are composed of continuous fibers in an elastomeric matrix. The usable range of deformation of these composites is much larger than that of ...

Abstract: A special material, fire-resistive engineered cementitious composite (FR-ECC), is introduced as a new kind of fire insulation. This paper presents the production process of FR-ECC, including the mix proportions, mixing, ...

Abstract: In order to study the damage evolution characteristics of freeze–thaw mortar materials under impact load, this paper uses cement silica powder mortar to prepare cylindrical samples, and performs freeze–thaw cycle tests on ...

Abstract: To evaluate influence of blast vibrations on the long-term mechanical deterioration and damage anisotropy of fresh concrete, blast vibration tests were conducted by preparing concrete test blocks at different curing ages. ...

Abstract: The commercial use of aggregate is ubiquitous in the construction of buildings and roads because aggregates provide strength, resistance, and support. This paper analyzes the constraints of aggregate rock use in Kurram ...

Abstract: Hakka Tulou, a traditional form of Chinese building made of rammed earth and a timber frame, is characterized by its remarkable geometries, excellent thermal comfort, sustainability, and cultural value. The joints between ...
