Combined approach based on the mechanical behavior and microstructural examinations for the fracture of concrete

M.A. Tasdemir, O. Sengul et al.

Investigations on the uniaxial compressive behavior of concretes made with two different ag- gregates such as rounded siliceous gravel and crushed limestone under short-term loading are reported. F...

Exploration of fracture characteristics, nanoscale properties and nanostructure of cementitious matrices with carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers

M.S. Konsta Gdoutos, S.P. Shah, Z.S. Metaxa

Misconceptions on variability of fracture energy, its uniaxial definition by work of fracture, and its presumed dependence on crack length and specimen size

G. Cusatis, L. Cedolin et al.

Combining finite/discrete element models: a post processing tool for fine cracks in concrete structures

A. Delaplace, C. Cremona et al.

Recently, efficient and very sophisticated numerical approaches have been developed in order to deal with crack propagation problems. They allow providing quantitative information related to crack ...

A local bond stress slip model for reinforcing bars in self compacting concrete

G. De Schutter, L. Taerwe, P. Desnerck

The force transfer in reinforced concrete is provided by the concrete -to-steel bond. This phe- nomenon has widely been studied for conventional vi brated concrete (CVC). For self-compacting concre...

Rebar bond slip in diagonal tension failure of reinforced concrete beams

T. Hasegawa

The infl uence of modeling of rebar bond slip on diagonal tension failure of reinforced concrete beams in fi nite element analysis is examined through calculations with several modeling strategies fo...
