Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) shows high tensile strength, compressive strength,
and durability compared to normal strength concrete (NSC). However, high compactness …

Synthetic fibres such as polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and polyethylene (PE)
in both virgin and recycled forms have been widely employed in cementitious composites …

This study investigated synergetic effects of hybrid polypropylene (PP) and steel fibers on
explosive spalling prevention of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) at elevated …

Concrete tends to spall explosively under fire due to the combined effect of thermal stress
and pore pressure build-up. For an anti-spalling strategy in the concrete mix design, one can …

We elucidated how polypropylene, jute, and water-soluble polyvinyl alcohol fibres mitigated
the increase in pressure in fibre-reinforced high-performance concrete (HPC) heated to …

This paper presents a systematic study on the feasibility of using synergistic flame-retardant
polymer (SFRP) fibres for enhancing thermo-mechanical properties of calcium aluminate …

This study investigates the flexural performance of a hybrid polyethylene-steel fiber-
reinforced ultra-high performance concrete. Effects of different levels of fibers hybridization …

Explosive spalling is one of the most detrimental problems for ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC) in fire condition due to the risks of breaching the integrity of concrete …

This paper investigated the effect of geometry and fraction of polypropylene (PP) fiber and
the induced microcracks on permeability of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) …

Explosive spalling is a major threat to fire safety of reinforced concrete structures. A deep
understanding of pore pressure build-up is important for evaluating and mitigating this …
