An experimental investigation is carried out to study the effect of variation in sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide in the geopolymer concrete. Oven dry curing method is [...]

Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) can improve not only mechanical properties but also durability due to reduced crack width by fiber bridging effect. From the view point of [...]

The aim of our work is the analysis of the effects of creation of a National Park in the region Ancares-Courel, in Galicia. We are interested in studying specially the di [...]

The contribution deals with the 3D analysis of the chevron notched three point bending specimen which is used to determine the fracture toughness of brittle matrix compos [...]

Abstrakt: Dynamic effects of seismic excitation and of the steam line break in the weld of the steam pipe and the steam collector during an earthquake are analyzed. Gener [...]

It is well established that most construction materials behave differently under static and dynamic loading. The stress-rate sensitivity of concrete, steel and rock has b [...]

According to recent publications, from 2005 to 2008 there were more than 13000 terrorist attacks around the world which took more than 73000 human lives. The attacks were [...]

The paper presents experimental determination of mechanical properties of different types of animal hairs. Mortars reinforced by thin fibres have promising properties for [...]

Presented paper deals with fracture behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced composites on the basis of Portland (PC) and alumina (HC) cement. Carbon fibres can be used for [...]

In this paper is solved a 3D analysis of growing crack of the chevron notched three-point-bending specimen. On macroscale the specimen body is modeled as an elastic homog [...]

This paper presents an experimental investigation on mechanical properties and durability of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) incorporating polypropylene (PP) fibres expos [...]
