Sulfate-induced Changes in Rheological Properties of Fibre-reinforced Cemented Paste Backfill
Author(s) Jiwei Bian Mamadou Fall Sada Haruna Abstract Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a soft concrete-like material, is extensively used in underground mines worldwide for ground support and/or mine waste disposal. One of the most important ingredients in CPB...
The Bond Property Between Concrete Confined with Textile-reinforced Concrete and a Steel Bar
Author(s) Lei Jing Shi-ping Yin Heng-lin Lv Abstract In this paper, based on pull-out test results, the influence of the number of chloride wetting–drying cycles, concrete strength, cover thickness, steel bar diameter and number of textile layers used in the...
L-shaped Concrete-Filled Steel Bollow-section Columns Under Diagonal Cyclic Loading
Author(s) Yong-Qian Zheng Ya-Jie Ma Peng-Song Lai Xue-Li Zhang Jian-Feng Ye Abstract L-shaped concrete-filled steel hollow-section (CFSHS) columns have the potential to be widely used as corner columns, and have the advantage of creating larger usable areas in...
Behaviour of Confined Rubberised Concrete Members Under Combined Loading Conditions
Author(s) Dan V Bompa Ahmed Y Elghazouli Abstract This paper presents an experimental study into the fundamental response of reinforced concrete members, which incorporate rubber particles obtained from recycled tyres, subjected to combined axial–bending...
