In recent decades, the need for high-performance and cost-effective concrete has received
considerable attention from both researchers and different construction industries due to the …

This paper presents a discussion on the subject of fracture energy of concrete and effective
parameters. Therefore, it serves as an overview of the available approaches in determining …

This paper studied the fracture behavior of fully recycled aggregate concrete (FRAC), which
was prepared with 100% recycled coarse and fine aggregates (RCA and RFA) and partial …

The aim of the present work is to investigate the flexural behavior of self-compacting
concrete reinforced with straight and hooked end steel fibers at levels of 0.5%, 1.0% and …

By harnessing the benefits from both construction and demolition waste recycling and
geopolymer binders, geopolymeric recycled aggregate concrete (GRAC) can contribute to …

A novel test specimen was designed for experimental investigations of pure and mixed
mode fracture. This novel test configuration is called “modified edge notched disc bend”(M …

The self-compacting concrete (SCC) with the replacement of recycled rubber aggregates is
limited for the field application due to high-performance requirements. The steel fiber was …

In practical applications it is important to determine resistance of cracked materials against
out of plane sliding deformation (ie mode III fracture toughness (K IIIc)) using suitable testing …

The present study examines the effect of adding random, short coconut fibers to various
cementitious composites on the mechanical properties, plastic cracking, and impact …

This paper deals with investigation of fracture behavior of steel fiber reinforced high strength
concrete (SFRHSC) and compare it to plain high strength concrete (HSC). Based on an …
