This paper focuses on the numerical modelling of autogenous and stimulated healing of
cracks in fibre-reinforced cementitious composites, with the aim of showing the potential that …

This investigation focused on identifying the impact of various types of steel fibers on the
quasi-static mechanical behavior of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) through …

Concrete tends to spall explosively under fire due to the combined effect of thermal stress
and pore pressure build-up. For an anti-spalling strategy in the concrete mix design, one can …

The magnitude of early age shrinkage of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is
markedly different from normal and high strength concretes. A series of experiments were …

In the last decade the self-healing of cracks in cementitious materials has been gaining an
increasing interest by both the concrete industry and the scientific community. Framed into …
