Concrete is becoming an inevitable building material. Its development is usually linked
to an industrial and architectural improvement. To improve the material behavior,
different types of additives and byproducts have ...
Concrete is the most widely used building material in the world. The single largest limitation of concrete is its weak and brittle nature under tensile stress. To improve this concrete behavior, reinforcement materials ...
Fiber-reinforced concrete has gained wide attention in the past years. The need for a high-performance and ductile construction material led to the advance in research and application of fibrous concrete. Fibers are short ...
To meet the objectives, 32 NSC full-scale beam specimens were tested. Each beam was designed with a small splice length (5 times the bar diameter) at midspan to simulate local bond conditions. The design variables were bar ...
Several research programs examined in the literature the effect of fibers on the bond strength and ductility of tension lap splices. An earlier study investigat ed the effect fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) on externally ...
The combined use of cementation and fiber reinforcement as a soil improvement te chnique has increased over time. The behavior of such composites has been invest igated by many authors through various laboratory testing ...
