Concrete is considered as a fundamental construction material as it has high compressive strength and fairly low cost. However, brittleness behavior and limited tensile strength can be remarkably observed in conventional ...

This experimental research covers studying fresh and some mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SSC) incorporating Polystyrene beads (PS) as a partial substitution with crushed coarse aggregate. Waste materials ...

The evaluation of steel-fiber reinforced concrete using the maturity method was investigated in this study. There were five different volume fractions of fibers (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% by volume of concrete) and three ...
