Fracture toughness and failure mechanism of high performance concrete incorporating carbon nanotubes

Anwar Khitab, Sajjad Ahmad, Rao Arsalan Khushnood, Syed Ali Rizwan, Giuseppe Andrea Ferro, Luciana Restuccia, Mustajab Ali, Imran Mehmood

Cement and concrete composites are inherently brittle and exhibit very less tensile/flexural strength capacity as compared to their compressive strength. Use of thoroughly dispersed carbon nanotubes in the concrete matrix is one of the…
