Preformed structural reinforcements have shown good performance in crash tests, where the great advantage is their weight. These reinforcements are designed with the aim of increasing the rigidity of regions with large ...

This review presents the research reports related to the development of new polymeric composites reinforced with natural fibers and agro-industrial wastes from Ecuador. Vegetable fibers with potential are analyzed to ...

The goal of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of an experimental composite resin filled with nylon-6 nanofibers (N6), nylon-6 nanofibers with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (N6-MWCN) or with pre-polymerized ...

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 ...

A means of stabilizing a current environmental situation on the planet and incorporating more and more biodegradable materials into durable goods. New technologies, as raw material reused materials from various sectors of ...

The significance of the creep behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) in the cracked state is a matter of debate. As FRC in service could be in the cracked state, the serviceability and failure will depend on the ...
