One of the main advantages of polymer concrete (PC) composites compared to ordinary
cement concretes is having much higher fracture toughness and fracture energy. In this …

The construction industry is among the most prominent contributors to global resource
consumption, waste production, and greenhouse gas emissions. A pivotal step toward …

This paper deals the relationship between compressive strength and internal crack
formation (eg, crack width and volume) of cement-fiber-tailings matrix composites (CFTMC) …

The purpose of this study was to examine the potential impact of the testing procedure, the
shape of the test sample, loading method and sample size on the K Ic value of polymer …

This study intends to determine the effect of fiber type and aggregate content on hardened
and durability properties of self-consolidating concrete. Steel, glass, and steel/glass hybrid …

Composite structures can be exposed to a range of corrosive environments during their in-
service life, which causes degradation in terms of material properties. The effect of alkaline …

The failure of polymer matrix composites upon exposure to the environment has been
assessed in the present study. In order to investigate the combined action of temperature …

Polymer concrete is well-known for quick repairing of concrete structures and pavement.
However, there are relatively few studies on the durability of epoxy polymer concrete (EPC) …

Abstract Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) composites have low permeability and
high corrosion resistance. In recent years, as the use of GFRP in applications requiring high …

The excessive use of virgin materials for manufacturing cementitious materials in the
building and construction industry creates detrimental environmental effects. The integration …
