Factors such as project and execution errors, lack of maintenance and inspection, and increases in loading can cause deficiencies to reinforced concrete structures. In this regard, there is the necessity of the application ...

Fiber reinforced concrete overlays are nowadays an alternative for repairing and reinforcing pavements. The contribution of concrete overlays strongly depends on the bond with the substrate. The fibers help sewing contraction ...

The modulus of elasticity is an important property for the behavior analysis of concrete structures. This research evaluated the strain difference between concrete specimens with and without the application of laminate ...

After several decades of research studies, design rules for fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) are now available for several structural elements. Starting from standard tests, it is possible to determine design parameters and ...
