Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

Bidirectional Shaking Table Tests of a One-fourth Scale Reinforced Concrete Space Frame

Shaking table tests on the 1/4th-scale three-story reinforced concrete frames were carried out to investigate the effects of bidirectional earthquake motions on overall nonlinear response of reinforced concrete frame buildings. Two identical models were constructed and one was subjected to bidirectional horizontal earthquake motions and the other was subjected to unidirectional one. A series of...

Experimental Investigation of Behavior of Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC)

The paper presents the results of casting and testing of 264 GFRC specimens. The glass fibers were 25 mm long, with the aspect ratio (L/D) ranging between 1250 and 3570. The parameters studied were the ratio (by weight) of fibers to cement, i.e. F/C=0%, 1.5%, 3%, and 4.5%, and the ratio of coarse to fine aggregates (gravel to sand), i.e. G/S=1.1, 0.7 and 0.2. In total, 12 mix designs were selec...

Tension Softening Behavior of Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The project aims to study tensile softening behavior of fiber reinforced concrete .Concrete is very much weak in tension but by addition of randomly oriented short crimped steel fibers will change the behavior from brittle to ductile. In the present work, the steel fibers were added at the volume fraction, being 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% to the normal strength concrete and high strength concrete. The ...
