Abstract: The pullout response of basalt textile embedded in cementitious matrix specimens was investigated under different loading rates and temperatures. Two types of specimens, basalt single yarn and basalt textile, were tested. ...

Abstract: This paper reports on double shear push-out tests conducted on steel-to-ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) connections based on studs of 30- or 22-mm diameter in slabs of 35, 55, or 150 mm thickness. The results show ...

Abstract: This paper reports the shear performances of steel wedge block–crossed inclined stud–ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) connections for application to steel-concrete composite bridges. The study entailed 36 pushout tests ...

Abstract: Reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers, one of the most widely used pier types, are vulnerable to damage during an earthquake and may not have sufficient durability against the harsh environment. To tackle these problems, ...

Abstract: The flexural behavior of basalt textile-reinforced concrete (BTRC) with and without pretension and with one of two types of short fibers was investigated using an instrumental four-point bending test under quasi-static ...
