In recent decades, the need for high-performance and cost-effective concrete has received
considerable attention from both researchers and different construction industries due to the …

Fiber reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC) have been widely used in the field of civil
engineering in terms of high-performance building material. The fracture mechanics has …

Recently, multiscale hybrid fiber‐reinforced concrete is used instead of single fiber‐
reinforced concrete to achieve better performance with hybrid fiber at their respective scale …

Microcracks generated at the crack tip, particularly in quasi-brittle materials such as
sandstone, give rise to a non-linear region known as the fracture process zone (FPZ), which …

In this paper, an attempt is made to determine the double-K fracture parameters K Ic ini and
K Ic un using three-point bending notched beams. First, based on the knowledge from …

This paper investigates the tensile behavior of the recently developed ambient-cured one-
part engineered geopolymer composites (EGC) incorporating different hybrid combinations …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the properties of the fracture process
zone (FPZ) in concrete using the digital image correlation (DIC) technique. Based on the …

The concrete undergoes brittle failure, which is a disadvantage for stability and safety
analysis. This drawback was compensated by addition of different types and size of fibers for …

Over the past three decades, the double-K fracture model has received widespread
recognition and application in the field of engineering material fracture. As the …

A systematical knowledge of the fracture characteristics and thermal damage mechanism of
granite at elevated temperature is an important issue in the high-level nuclear waste …
