One of the main advantages of polymer concrete (PC) composites compared to ordinary
cement concretes is having much higher fracture toughness and fracture energy. In this …

This paper studies the effect of crack repairing process on the behavior of pavement at four
ambient low and medium temperatures ranging from− 20° C to 30° C. Asphalt mixture …

The aim of this paper is to present the most important issues on the implementation,
operation and maintenance of foundation for machines. The article presents the newest …

Suitable resistance against fracture and cracking is a primary requirement for using
polymeric concrete materials in practical applications. The main aim of this research is to …

This paper investigates the results of brittle fracture in rock materials subjected to the mixed
mode I/II loading using different fracture criteria. Two sets of mixed mode fracture test data in …

This study provides guidance for the design of macro-synthetic reinforced roller-compacted
concrete pavement (RCCP) with appropriate consistency and enhanced mechanical …

Asphalt concrete pavements containing top-down cracks can be subjected to combined
opening-out of plane sliding (ie mixed mode I/III) deformations due to traffic loads. However …

In this study, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles are shredded in different
sizes and added to the polymer concrete composition to investigate the effect on fracture …

This paper investigates the mode I (ie tensile) and mode III (ie tearing) fracture behavior of
concrete composites containing synthetic forta-ferro (SFF) fibers. By employing a simple and …

The fracture features of the 3D-printed samples are assessed employing Semi-Circular
Bending (SCB) specimens. The critical failure loads are experimentally measured and have …
