Abstract: A constitutive law for fiber-reinforced concrete materials consisting of an elastic perfectly plastic model for compression and an elastic-constant postpeak response for tension is presented. The material parameters are ...

Abstract: Fabric reinforced cement based composites are a new class of composites with superior tensile strength and ductility which have the potential for becoming load bearing structural members. This enhanced behavior is primarily ...

Abstract: This paper describes the use of the displacement discontinuity boundary element method to model the microstructure of asphalt mixtures. The problem of indirect tension test (IDT) was used to demonstrate the application of ...
