Collapses or serious damages of existing buildings during strong earthquakes have resulted
in significant economic losses, severe injuries and loss of human lives. Given the late …

Sustainability necessitates the protection of infrastructure from any kind of deterioration over
the life cycle of the asset. Deterioration in the capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) …

This study investigated the mechanical properties of ultra high performance fiber reinforced
cementitious composites (UHPFRCC) with four different fiber volume fractions (V f= 1%, 2 …

This paper presents a modified concrete damaged plasticity model (CDPM) based on
ABAQUS, in order to accurately simulate the mechanical responses of steel-polypropylene …

Drying shrinkage cracks mainly start to develop at the exposed surface of the concrete
elements due to the shrinkage strain caused by self-desiccation. For the purpose of …

Abstract Five Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams strengthened with Basalt Fiber Reinforced
Polymer (BFRP) grid in conjunction with Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) were …

Concrete repairing, rehabilitation and prolonging the effective service-life of structures plays
an important role in building field worldwide. The polymer-modified cementitious material …

This paper presents a preliminary experimental investigation of a self-centering beam-
column joint reinforced with superelastic Ni-Ti SMA bars and ECC materials. As an …

A high-performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composite (HPFRCC) prepared with high-
