There is a tremendous increase in the use of high strength and high performance self-consolidating cementitious composites due to their superior workability and mechanical strengths. Cement composites are quasi-brittle in nature and…
The technology of energy piles for heat storage involves turning the concrete piles buried beneath the ground into a part of the ground-source heat pump system and burying the heat-transfer tubes in the foundation piles, which are regarded…
Though the principle of orthogonal experimental design, the uniaxial compression experiment and uniaxial tensile experiment were carried out on nine groups of high toughness cementitious composites with different mixing ratios to study the…
A novel cost-effective alternative in the form of nano/micro carbonized particles produced from waste bagasse fibers has been explored to modify the mechanical properties and fracture pattern of the resulting cementitious composites.…
Cracks in cover of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures significantly influence the ingress of deleterious species causing decrease in durability of these structures. The paper is focused on the effect of fracture process on two…
This paper concerns the results of research into the influence of the composition of rock inclusions on the fracture response of cement-based composite specimens. Specially designed specimens of the nominal dimensions 40 × 40 × 160 mm with…
In order to study the effect of polypropylene fibers on the durability of cementitious composites, several experimental tests have been carried out in the laboratory. The composite was tested with different volume fractions of…
Bendable concrete is also defined as engineered cementitious composites because of its great ductility and tight fracture width limitation. ECC mixtures by adding additional Portland cement, silica sand and fly ash, fiber types…
This work focuses on the mechanical characterization of the inorganic matrix used for Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) composites, nowadays widely used to retrofit existing reinforced concrete and masonry structures. While…
In recent years, the construction industry has witnessed significant advancements in concrete technology, particularly with the integration of 3D printing in cement-based materials. While this innovation offers promising opportunities for…
