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 ...

Concrete, consisting primarily of cement, water and aggregates, is the most used construction material all over the world and plays an important role in the growth of infrastructure and industrial sectors. Cement manufacturing ...

An investigation is carried out to evaluate under constant axial load and concomitant monotonic and reversed cyclic loading the structural behavior of reinforced concrete columns containing a service pipe within the column ...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of fiber volume (i.e control, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) and aspect ratios of 55, 65, and 80 of hooked-end steel fibers on the behaviour of plastic shrinkage ...

A lot of countries are producing Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC), also called Self-compacting Concrete that has many advantages compared to normal concrete. No specific or standard mix for achieving SCC is fixed nowadays. ...
