In recent years, basalt fiber (BF) has been extensively used as a reinforced fiber to improve
the mechanical properties and durability of concrete because of its excellent mechanical …

Rebar corrosion is the most common durability issue in reinforced concrete structures, and
replacing steel rebar with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bar can effectively resolve the …

Fibers applied to reinforce the cementitious matrix exhibit a wide range of scales, from
distributed carbon nanomaterials, chopped short fibers to continuous fibrous reinforcements …

In seawater sea-sand concrete (SSSC), to avoid steel corrosion, the use of fibre-reinforced
polymer (FRP) bars as reinforcement has been proposed. However, FRP bars do not have …

Micro and short fibre inclusions to concrete mixtures increase their precrack resistance, and
random distribution of fibres improve the properties of concrete in all directions. In this study …

Textile reinforced concrete (TRC) is becoming an emerging high-performance construction
material due to its outstanding load-bearing capacity, corrosion resistance, and durability …

In recent years, efforts have been made to utilize recycled carbon fibers (RCFs) into the
cement composites. However, limited information is available on the interaction of these …

This paper presents a mesoscopic discrete modeling approach for studying compression
and fracture behavior of concrete. A modified piecewise linear sieve curve was proposed to …

Blasts resulted from industrial/residential accidents and deliberate attacks can impose
extremely hazardous loading conditions upon nearby structures. The repercussions of these …

Textile-reinforced ultra-high performance concrete (TR-UHPC) specimens are developed
with various high-performance textiles and volume fractions of steel fibers. Experimental and …
