Engineered steel fiber has been used for reinforcing concrete since the mid-nineteenth
century. The influence of fiber reinforcement on the mechanical characteristics of concrete is …

Structures and bridges are being designed on the proposed and requested design lifetime
of 50 to 100 years. In practice, one can see that the real lifetime of structures and bridges is …

The paper deals with the comparison of tensile strength of fiber reinforced concrete with
different types of fibers. Detailed knowledge of mechanical properties is necessary for …

Shotcrete material has found extensive applications as a reinforcing material in the
engineering sector. This study examined the effect of doped glass fibers on the mechanical …

Concrete, which is based on the use of Portland cement as a binder, often becomes a
construction material in the construction industry. Concrete itself, however, exists in a …

Fibers and bacterial additives in concrete have achieved significant success as a
construction material. This paper presents the field of concrete self-repairing by introducing …

Waste aggregate concretes are playing a more and more important role in construction
industry. Over the last decade, their application has evolved from very basic pavements and …

The paper deals with the determination of mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete
in dependence on various dosages and recipe of concrete. The mechanical properties were …

In this study engineered steel fibres used as reinforcement for concrete were characterized
by number of key mechanical and spatial parameters, which are easy to measure and …

Harsh conditions, such as the lack of raw materials and high transportation costs, impede
the construction of desert railway sand control projects. Against this background, aeolian …
