Abstract: The effect of fiber length on the mechanical properties of extruded cement-based polyvinyl alcohol fiber composites is strongly associated with the distribution of the fibers in the material. Statistical methods from the ...

Abstract: The in situ testing of early age concrete strength is crucial for determining the time of form removal from concrete elements, opening highways to traffic, or applying prestress to steel reinforcement. A nondestructive ...

Abstract: High performance, fiber-reinforced composites are identified by their high strength and toughness associated with multiple cracking. If the composite is adequately reinforced, the bridging fibers will transfer the load and ...
