Nowadays, new types of cementitious composites are increasingly being used for the
construction of structural members. This poses a problem regarding the structural fire safety …

Production of various concrete elements at early ages requires careful water curing to
ensure the development of a hydration reaction that fills and discontinues the capillary voids …

Major tunnel fires can have catastrophic consequences, including loss of life, property
damage, and long-term service disruptions. The rapid rise of gas temperature in excess of …

A multi-purpose prototype test system is developed to study the mechanical behavior of
tunnel supporting structure, including a modular counterforce device, a powerful loading …

A stochastic micromechanical framework is presented to predict the probabilistic behavior of
the fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) using the maximum entropy principle. The FRC is …

Abstract The Metro Tunnel is a Victorian Government funded infrastructure project which will
create a new end‐to‐end rail line from Sunbury in the west to Cranbourne/Pakenham in the …

ABSTRACT A concurrent multiscale approach for phase field modeling of fracture is
developed to numerically investigate the fracture mechanisms of heterogeneous materials …

This paper presents an investigation on the fire resistance of high strength fiber reinforced
concrete filled box columns (CFBCs) under combined temperature and loading. Two groups …

In order to research the residual mechanical properties of concrete shield tunnel segments
after exposure to high temperatures, two types of concrete segments were designed: a self …

In order to facilitate self-compacting concrete to be better used in tunnel linings that can
resist fires, a SiO2 aerogel-cement mortar coating was prepared. Based on the HC curve, a …
