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 …

Brittle cracking is one of the most important causes of catastrophic destruction in structures
and infrastructures made of cement-based materials. Researchers have tried to reduce the …

The present study evaluates the effect of basalt fiber reinforcement on the fracture properties
of polymer concrete (PC) after exposure to different temperatures. First, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 wt …

Using artificial intelligence‐based methods in predicting material properties, in addition to
high accuracy, saves time and money. This paper models and predicts the fracture …

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the effects of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets
addition in a cement-based material from both a microstructural and a mechanical/fracture …

In the never-ending quest, for a high-performance cement composite, Nano Engineered
Cement Composites (NECC) are raising great expectations and garnering quite a bit of …

The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impact of the testing procedure, the
shape of the test sample, loading method and sample size on the K Ic value of polymer …

This study investigates how the diameter of specimens impacts the cracking behavior of
asphalt mixtures. Testing was conducted on SCB specimens with diameters of 64, 86, and …

Polymer Concretes: Advanced Construction Materials provides a comprehensive study on
polymer concrete (PC), discussing historical perspectives of its use, the classification and …

Crack is a typical distress on bridge deck asphalt pavement (BDAP), which destroys the
integrity and continuity of the pavement structure. However, the research on the crack …
