Abstract:

Different types of fibres are often used in concrete to prevent microcracking due to shrinkage, and polypropylene fibres are among the most often used ones. If not prevented, microcracks can lead to the development of larger cracks as drying shrinkage occurs, enabling penetration of aggressive substances from the environment and reducing durability of concrete structures. The hypothesis of the present research is that polypropylene fibres, used in concrete for controlling formation of microcracks due to shrinkage, can be replaced with recycled polymer fibres obtained from end-of-life tyres.

Abstract:

Fracture of steel-fibre-reinforced-concrete occurs mostly in the form of a smeared crack band undergoing progressive microcracking. For FE modelling and design purposes, this crack band could be characterised by a stress-strain (σ-ε) relationship. For industrially-produced steel fibres, existing methodologies such as RILEM TC 162-TDF (2003) propose empirical equations to predict a trilinear σ-ε relationship directly from bending test results. This paper evaluates the accuracy of these methodologies and their applicability for roller-compacted-concrete and concrete incorporating steel fibres re

Abstract:

Four-point bending fatigue experimental work was conducted on specimens that were cut from slabs to examine the fatigue life of concrete pavements. The variables considered were the volume fraction of fibres added in plain or steel bar reinforced concrete. It was found that the strain-based approach to fatigue testing on scaled-down concrete pavements is suitable to investigate the fatigue performance of scaled-down thin rigid pavements. The addition of fibres at 0.5% volume fraction in concrete improved the fatigue life by at least 135% and reduced the energy dissipated per cycle by 74%. As t

High-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (HPFRCCs) are characterized by unique tensile strain hardening and multiple microcracking behaviors. The HPFRCC, which demonstrates remarkable properties such as strength, ductility, toughness, durability, stiffness, and thermal resistance, is a class of fiber cement composite with fine aggregates. It can withstand tensile stresses by forming distributed microcracks owing to the embedded fibers in the concrete, which improve the energy absorption capacity and apparent ductility.

Different types of fibres are often used in concrete to prevent microcracking due to shrinkage, and polypropylene fibres are among the most often used ones.

Abstract Due to their advantages such as high tensile strength, low cost of production, easy manufacturing methods, and ease of use, cementitious materials are extensively utilized in the construction industry. The applications of nanomaterials in cementitious materials have been found to enhance their properties. It allows molecular changes to improve the material behaviour and the performance of civil infrastructure structures, including buildings and highways. Owing to the high ductility of polyvinyl alcohol-engineered cementitious composites (ECCs), it was suggested to be used in steel-rei

Abstract:

AbstractThis research examines the effect of fiber alignment on the performance of an exceptionally tough 3D-printable short carbon fiber reinforced cementitious composite material, the flexural strength of which can exceed 100 N/mm2. The material shows pseudoductility caused by strain-hardening and microcracking. An extrusion-based manufacturing process allows accurate control over the spatial alignment of the fibers’ orientation, since extrusion through a tight nozzle leads to nearly unidirectional alignment of the fibers with respect to the directional movement of the nozzle. Specimens were

Abstract:

ABSTRACTDamage in a continuous, aligned-fiber SiC/Al metal matrix composite (MMC), e.g. fiber fracture, fiber-matrix interphase microcracking, intra-ply matrix voids and cracks, is examined with synchrotron x-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM). Quantitative three-dimensional measurements of damage are reported in as-fabricated and monotonically loaded SiC/Al. The XTM results indicate that increases in observed macroscopic structural stiffness during the first few fatigue cycles of an MMC coupon correspond to elimination of processing-related matrix porosity and to displacement of the fibers from

Abstract:

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), an advanced class of fiber-reinforced cementitious material with extraordinary mechanical properties, low permeability, shrinkage and creep, and high energy absorption capacity, has seen steady increase in use, with applications covering construction of new members and retrofit of existing ones. Fibers are added in the UHPC mix to bridge cracks, carry tensile stresses, and contribute greatly to member ductility and load capacity. Hybrid fibers comprising micro and macro types are beneficial where the first type resists microcracking and the second target

Abstract:

Thermal damage assessment of cementitious composites is essential for evaluating post-fire health conditions of the engineering structures, as well as the basis for reinforcement and repair after fires. Fibers and fly ash are widely used in cementitious composites due to their excellent properties. However, quantifying and predicting the thermal damage of hybrid fibers reinforced cementitious composites blended with fly ash at high temperatures is still inexplicit. Hence, this study aims to realize multiscale prediction of thermal damage for hybrid fibers reinforced cementitious composites ble

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn recent years, the means of making high strength concrete are simple by adding microsilica, fly ash, or other types of additives. As the use of high strength concrete increases, the need to clearly understand its prcperties is essentially a necessity for engineering design. While much of the basic properties of high strength concrete such as compressive strength (fc), modulus of elasticity (Ec), and modulus of rupture (fr), etc., has been investigated and reported recently, many remain unavailable. This paper presents the bond strength characteristics of deformed bar, steel fibers, a

ABSTRACTOpen reflection microwave resonator sensors have been developed for in situ measurement of the bulk moisture absorbed by nonconducting fiber-reinforced composites. These contacting sensors operate at about 4 GHz, and have sensitivities and resolutions of about 0.1% moisture. In application, two independent parameters are measured simultaneously. From these, the two components of the effective complex dielectric constant ε* (ε′= - јε″) as seen by the sensor are determined. Both ε′ and ε″ are highly linear with absorbed moisture.Both linearly polarized sensors (for measuring anisotropie

AbstractConcrete is a brittle material that is weak in tension and is prone to internal microcracking. With the constant demand for improvement in concrete’s durability and mechanical proprieties, the use of fiber reinforcements has shown promising results. The findings of this paper are based on test results on hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (HFRC) samples of simply supported two-way slabs, produced with a selected volumetric proportion of steel fiber (SF) and polypropylene fibers (PPF). A total of twenty-one specimens were fabricated. Concrete slab specimens were tested under flexural load

Abstract:

The present work investigates a novel and practical method to evaluate the healing efficiency of carbon-reinforced polymer composites. The method should be representative of damage occurring during the lifetime of a composite part, should tend to damage the healable matrix mostly and yet be simple and cost-effective to set up. Thus, the capacity to recover low-velocity impact damage has been evaluated via three-point bending flexural tests. Carbon-reinforced composite laminates were produced using HealTech™ T300-TW200-42RW-1250, a commercially healable resin pre-impregnated Torayca T300 3K twi

Abstract:

A multiscale model based on the framework of microplane theory is developed to predict the elastic and fracturing behavior of woven composites from the mesoscale properties of the constituents and the weave architecture. The effective yarn properties are obtained by means of a simplified mesomechanical model of the yarn, based on a mixed series and parallel coupling of the fibers and of the polymer within the yarns. As a novel concept, each of the several inclined or aligned segments of an undulating fill and warp yarn is represented by a triad of orthogonal microplanes, one of which is normal
