Abstract: This paper presents a semianalytical method to predict fatigue behavior in flexure of concrete in the case of maximum flexural moment larger than that of the first crack moment based on force equilibrium in the critical ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study on crack bridging in steel-fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) materials under deformation-controlled uniaxial fatigue tension. Two types of commercially available steel fibers, ...

Abstract: Toughened glass is often used in load carrying elements due to the relatively high tensile strength compared with float glass. The apparent tensile strength of toughened glass is a combination of the pure material strength ...

Abstract: Over the past years, with increasing traffic volumes and higher wheel loads, fatigue damage in steel parts of typical orthotropic steel bridge decks has been experienced on heavily trafficked routes. A demand exists to ...

Abstract: A basalt fiber–reinforced polymer (BFRP) mesh was introduced as reinforcement in high-performance concrete (HPC) thin plates (20–30 mm) for implementation in precast sandwich panels. An experimental program studied ...
