... and external FRP wrapping, effectively mitigate brittle splitting failures and promote ductile behaviour. Current design codes ( ACI 318; Eurocode 2), calibrated for natural-aggregate concrete, inadequately address the distinct properties of RAC . To bridge this gap, this review proposes a recycled...

... behaviour of UHPC's various constituents. Different combinations of constituents were produced to measure indirect tensile strength, compressive strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and overall stress–strain behaviour to failure at early and later ages. Stress–strain behaviour and Poisson's ratio...

... 2019 failure foundations strength & testing of materials In geotechnical engineering, saline soil has seriously negatively affected and destroyed engineering projects due to its particular characteristics (Ismeik et al., 2013). For highway engineering, sulfate saline soil would...

...Mahsa Payab, PhD; Reza Abbasnia, PhD; Mostafa Khanzadi, PhD A two-dimensional mesoscopic model is presented for simulation of the failure process of high-strength concrete (HSC) confined by fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP). The model is based on the discrete-element method and modified rigid-body...

... 2017 failure materials technology roads & highways Permanent deformation (PD) or rutting remains a major problem in flexible pavements as excessive rutting is a serious safety hazard. Depressions or ruts on the surface of a pavement can trap water, which can then cause a reduction...

... rigidity, which improves flexural capacity. Furthermore, it was found that failure of slabs reinforced with GFRP rebars occurred by crushing and end slip of GFRP rebars must be prevented by using additional bars beyond the supports. concrete technology & manufacture failure strength & testing...
