Bio-based resins, obtained from renewable raw materials, are a more sustainable alternative to oil-based resins for fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The incorporation of lignin in those resins has the potential to enhance their performance. This ...
Owing to their high specific stiffness and strength, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composites (CFRP) are ideal candidates for the development of lightweight high-performance structures. Within this family, thin-ply composites allow for wider design freedom and p ...
Nowadays the use of natural fiber composites has gained significant interest due to their low density, high availability, and low cost. The present study explores the development of sustainable 3D printing filaments based on rice husk (RH), an agricultura ...
PE-UHPFRC is a new Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC), which is developed to reduce the environmental impact of conventional UHPFRC by replacing the steel fibers with synthetic ones and reducing the clinker content in the mix. The de ...
This paper addresses the uniaxial tensile response of Strain Hardening Ultra High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) subjected to very low strain rates and low temperatures. The influence of four different strain rates; 1 × 10−5, 1 × 10−7, ...
The tensile response of strain hardening UHPFRC under full restraint, subjected to curing temperatures of 20 °C, 10 °C, 5 °C, was investigated for two types of mixes with silica fume; Mix I with pure type I cement and Mix II with 50% replacement of cement ...
The tensile behavior under low loading rates governs to a large extend the mechanical response of Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) at early age and long term, in applications of rehabilitation. A viscoelastic-v ...
The ever-increasing demand for rehabilitation of existing structures and construction of new ones, along with environmental issues of the construction sites represent a heavy burden for society in terms of economy and environment. Meanwhile, Ultra-High Per ...
Cast-in-place thin layers of Ultra-High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) on the specific zones of existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks has been demonstrated to be a technically efficient and economic rehabilitation an ...
Strain Hardening Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concretes (SH-UHPFRC) are cementitious materials with exceptional mechanical properties and outstanding durability making them ideal materials for rehabilitation, for the improvement of load carrying ...
