Concrete composites used in civil and military infrastructure are susceptible to catastrophic
failure under intense sudden blasts or explosions. These types of infrastructure must …

In this study, several three-point-bending (TPB) experiments were conducted to investigate
the influence of fiber content on the fracture behavior of hooked-end steel fiber-reinforced …

Ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) is a promising construction material characterized
by a low water-to-cement ratio, high particle packing density, high cement content, efficiency …

The failure mechanisms of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) are complicated and governed by
random phases at meso-scale, typically including fibres, mortar and fibre-mortar interfaces …

This paper proposes a novel mesoscale modelling method to study the effect of steel fibres
on the fracture properties of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC) based on an integrated …

In this study, an attempt was made to study the bond-slip performance of end-hook and half-
hooked steel fibers embedded in moderately strength SIFCON matrix, to find out the cause …

Shear failure is an unfavorable phenomenon as it is a brittle type of failure; however, adding
rebars and fibers to a concrete beam can minimize its detrimental effects. The objective of …

This research paper proposes a generative design framework that combines topology
optimization and the Generative Tie Method (GTM). The study explores the design and …

Understanding the pullout behavior of arc-shaped steel fibers in slurry-infiltrated fiber
concrete (SIFCON) materials is crucial to improving their mechanical and deformation …

Precast concrete segments reinforced with a combination of steel fibers and conventional
rebar (RC-SFRC) have gained prominence in the mechanized construction of tunnels in …
