Prestressing in SFR-RPC: Shear Strength of Fibre-reinforced Reactive Powder Concrete I-shaped Beam Without Stirrups
Author(s) Ling-Zhi Jin Xuan Chen Feng Fu Xiao-Fang Deng Kai Qian Abstract Due to the high compressive strength of steel fibre-reinforced reactive powder concrete (SFR-RPC), a higher degree of prestressing is available for SFR-RPC beams. Hence, a more slender...
Numerical Simulation of the Distribution and Orientation of Steel Fibres in SCC
Author(s) Chun Bao J.H. Bi D. Xu J. Guan W. X. Cheng Abstract Due to the combined advantages of steel fibre-reinforced (SFR) concrete and self-compacting concrete (SCC), SFRSCC is considered to present good prospects for engineering applications. As SFRSCC has...
Improved One-phase Model of Uniform Corrosion for Predicting the Volume of Rust
Improved One-phase Model of Uniform Corrosion for Predicting the Volume of Rust Author(s) Yanlong Zhang Ray Kai Leung Su Abstract One-phase models of rebar corrosion have been widely used by practising engineers to predict the volume of rust and the time...
Research on Axial Behaviour of Concrete Columns Retrofitted with Pre-stressed Steel Strip
Author(s) Yong Yang Yicong Xue Yunlong Yu Yaqi Li Abstract In many cases today, concrete columns do not meet the requirements of current design codes due to a number of deficiencies, including low concrete strength, inadequate transverse rebar and low...
Fracture Property of Polypropylene Fibre-reinforced Lightweight Concrete at High Temperatures
Author(s) Jingjun Li Chaojun Wan Xiaohui Zhang Jiangang Niu Abstract The main purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture property of polypropylene fibre (PPF)-reinforced lightweight concrete (LWC) at high temperatures, and also the basic properties...
Nonlinear Finite-Element Analysis of Glass Fiber- Reinforced Polymer-Reinforced Concrete Slab-Column Edge Connections
Author(s) Ahmed E. Salama, Mohamed Hassan, and Brahim Benmokrane Abstract Because of the limited experimental evidence on slab-column edge connections reinforced with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars, the FRP design codes call for further experiments to...
Effectiveness of Hybrid Fibers on Flexural Behavior of Concrete Beams Reinforced with Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Bars
Author(s) Ganapati M. Patil, M. Chellapandian, and S. Suriya Prakash Abstract The effectiveness of structural macro-synthetic polyolefin (PO) and a hybrid combination of steel and synthetic fibers on the flexural performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer...
Cracking Behavior of Slabs with Corrosion-Resistant and High-Strength Reinforcing Bars
Author(s) Chungwook Sim and Robert J. Frosch Abstract Crack control remains important even if corrosion-resistant reinforcement (chromium-containing or -chromium-coated bars) is used because cracking of the concrete can lead to durability concerns such as...
Shear Behavior of Lightweight Slag Aggregate Self- Consolidating Concrete Beams
Author(s) Khandaker M. Anwar Hossain, Kokilan Sathiyamoorthy, Tanvir Manzur, and Abdurrahmaan Lotfy Abstract Lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) has evolved to combine the excellent benefits of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and lightweight...
