Bond behaviour plays an important role in the design and performance of reinforced-
concrete structures. In this study, finite-element modelling is used to perform a parametric …

In this chapter, a PVA-ECC using local dune sand was developed, aiming for a reduced
material cost while maintaining a tensile strain capacity that could match the ductility of steel …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC), manufactured with industrial by-products (eg fly ash and slag)
activated by alkaline solutions, has been considered as a promising alternative to Portland …

Due to the excellent tensile strain hardening and multiple microcracking behaviours,
engineered cementitious composite (ECC) has received worldwide attention and …
