This paper investigates for the first time the high-strain rate splitting tension behavior of Fiber-
Reinforced Rubberized Concrete (FRRC). Splitting tension tests were performed on Φ 100 …

The compressive mechanical properties of concrete-based materials are strongly affected by
the presence of additions in the mix and load application velocity. Fiber-Reinforced …

With the advancement of tunnel construction, the load-bearing capacity of shield tunnel
segments is diminishing, while issues of deformation and fissuring are becoming more …

During the past decades, the application of acoustic emission techniques (AET) through the
diagnosis and monitoring of the fracture process in materials has been attracting …

Concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) are increasingly used as composite sections in
structures owing to their excellent load bearing capacity. Therefore, predicting the …

In this paper, a new hybrid fiber system (NHFS) is investigated for the application of slab.
The steel fiber, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) whisker is …

In this report, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers with high strength and high Young's modulus
were prepared by dry-wet spinning, and they were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, TGA and …

The shear behavior of soil-concrete interface is mainly affected by the surface roughness of
the two contact surfaces. The present research emphasizes on investigating the effect of …

The fibre utilization efficiency of directionally distributed fibre‐reinforced concrete is better
than that of randomly distributed fibre. However, controlling the fibre direction is difficult …

One of the methods for investigation of mechanical behavior of materials is numerical
simulation. For simulation, its need to model behavior is close to real condition. PFC is one …
