Fibres are generally used as resistance of cracking and strengthening of concrete. In this project, I am going to carry out test on steel fibre reinforced concrete to check the influence of fibres on flexural strength of concrete. According to various research papers, it has been found that steel fibres give the maximum strength in comparison to glass and polypropylene fibres. Hence, in this pr...

Attack and disintegration of concrete structures under the influence of aggressive fluids, wet gases, etc. are understood as corrosion of concrete. The corrosion of concrete is a chemical, colloidchemical process, yet often a physico-chemical one, while that of reinforced concrete supported oil platforms are subjected to marine environment in the Persian Gulf and therefore corroded. In the pres...

The mathematic models for thermal, and PV solar power inserted in the ESP-r, which is the integrating building energy and environment simulation tool, were verified with the measured da ta. Using the verified model, the energy performance of an office building, equipped toward the south with conventional absorptive single facade or unventilated double PV facade or outward ventilated double PV f...

The present Experimental investigation is to study the Mechanical Properties of the Fly ash concrete reinforced with steel fibers. The concrete composite comprises of steel fibers in different percentages and partial replacement of cement in different proportions. Steel fibers varied from 0%, 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% by weight of cement and replacement of fly ash varied from 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% ...

In this study, Finite Elements Method was used for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete plates under gradually loading conditions beginning from zero load to failure load. Layered Composite Material Model was used for the modeling of reinforced concrete plates. The principles of this approach is given in “layered composites mechanics” that it was successfully applied for the nonlinear ...

High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. In this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using HPFRCC material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. After calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results inc...

Fiber reinforcement is an important method to enhance the performance of concrete. In this study, the compressive test and impact test were conducted, and then the hybrid effect between steel fiber (SF) and carbon fiber (CF) was evaluated by employing the hybrid effect index. Compressive toughness and impact toughness of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), carbon fiber reinforced concrete (...

The classical solar chimney offers passive electricity and water production at a low operating cost. However, the suffers from high capital cost energy output density per construction area. investment increases levelized of (LCOE), making design less economically competitive versus other technologies. This work presents new noteworthy for maximizing production. was achieved by integrating cooli...

Retrofitting works are immensely essential for deteriorated and damaged structures in Engineering and Medical fields, in order to keep, or return to, the originality for safe guarding the structures and consumers. In this paper, different types of methods of retrofitting review notes are given based on the experimental, numerical and analytical methods results on strengthening the Reinforced ce...
