This study focuses on the identification of concrete behavior under severe triaxial loading in
order to better evaluate the vulnerability of sensitive infrastructure to near-field detonations …

The aim of this study is to characterize the behaviour of concrete under high triaxial loading
at levels of confinement and axial stress of the order of the GigaPascal. This study is carried …

Pervious concrete (PC) is a structural element with environmental benefits. The industrial
application is highly limited by restrictions in predicting performance owing to high …

A testing device is presented for the experimental study of dynamic compaction of concrete
under high strain rates. The specimen is confined in a metallic ring and loaded by means of …

Abstract 3D printed cementitious composites (3DPCC) are one of the contemporary
digitization and fabrication techniques being adopted by the construction industry. Improving …

A numerical model based on a three dimensional Discrete Element Method (DEM) has been
used to study the behavior of concrete under high-confining pressures (up to 650MPa). At …

In a concrete structure subjected to an explosion, for example a concrete slab, the material is
subjected to various states of stress which lead to many modes of rupture. Closer to the …

When massive concrete structures (high-rise buildings, tunnels, dams, nuclear power plants,
bridges, protection structures,…) are subjected to extreme loadings (aircraft shocks, rock …

The behaviour of concrete under high pressure and dynamic loadings is experimentally
investigated in the present paper. The specimen is confined in a cylindrical elastic steel ring …

This article is about protective structures against rock fall. We present a new concept of rock-
shed protection: it consists of a reinforced concrete slab (not protected by any ground …
