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 ...

This paper presents and discusses the results of experimental tests performed on concrete specimens internally reinforced with polypropylene and steel fibers. Specifically, samples of five mixtures (plus a reference plain ...

This paper summarizes the results of an experimental research on “sustainable” cementitious composites internally reinforced with industrial and recycled steel fibers, the latter being recovered from waste tires and employed ...

This study deals with the analytical modeling of hybrid fiber-reinforced concretes (HyFRCs) made with a blend of different types of fibers characterized by different geometries and/or constitutive materials. The presented ...

This work analyzes the effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior up to failure of self-compacting high strength concrete specimens when subjected to three different stress paths, corresponding to the uniaxial ...
