Fibres that cross the fracture surface govern the performance of fibre reinforced concrete
(FRC), playing a major role in fracture results used to evaluate the structural competence of …

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 …

The external bonding of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets is a widely used method for
strengthening and rehabilitating existing concrete structures. The premature failure of these …

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 …

Drying shrinkage cracks mainly start to develop at the exposed surface of the concrete
elements due to the shrinkage strain caused by self-desiccation. For the purpose of …

This investigation focused on identifying the impact of various types of steel fibers on the
quasi-static mechanical behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) through …

Beams made of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC), a fiber-reinforced concrete with
high compressive strength and tensile strain-hardening characteristics, exhibit flexural …

The lattice discrete particle model (LDPM) is a mesoscale model for heterogeneous
materials. Developed for concrete, it simulates material mesostructure by modeling coarse …

In this study, an effective meshless model is proposed for fracture analysis of cracks in fiber
reinforced concrete structures. The cementitious material is modeled using the micropolar …

This work presents a numerical approach to simulate the behaviour of steel fibre reinforced
concrete, FRC. The adopted strategy comprises three main steps:(i) assessing the fibre …
