The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

Shape memory materials (SMMs) are an important group of intelligent multifunctional
materials used in civil engineering applications whose popularity is due to their unique …

The behavior under impact loading of an innovative hybrid fiber-reinforced engineered
cementitious composite incorporating short randomly dispersed shape memory alloy (HECC …

In this study, several aspects of autogenous and autonomous healing concrete are
discussed, including their characterization, processes, and performances. Mineral …

This work enabled better understanding of crimped fiber's pullout behavior and investigated
the cross-sectional and longitudinal stress distribution, including embedded portions and …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) have unique characteristics, such as the shape memory effect,
which allows them to recover their initial shape after being deformed when stimulated, and …

This paper investigates the single fibre pull-out performance of superelastic shape memory
alloy fibres (SMAFs) embedded in a highly flowable cementitious matrix suitable for …

This study assessed the performance of short fibers made of superelastic shape memory
alloy (SE SMA) to close cracks in mortar beams. Four types of fibers were considered. Five …

An innovative hybrid engineered cementitious composite with crack-healing capability is
pioneered in this study. The mechanical properties of this composite, which incorporates …
