Calibration patterns for predicting residual strengths of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC)
(Elsevier, 2013-11-12)
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete (SFRC), a composite construction material, needs reliable prediction and control techniques to promote its use in structural applications. The distribution and orientation of fibres within ...
A study on the durability of structural concrete incorporating electric steelmaking slag
(Elsevier, 2018-02-10)
The durability of structural concrete mixes prepared with electric steelmaking aggregates is tested for use in normal and aggressive environments. Samples of “pumpable” and “self-compacting” concrete mixes are shown to ...
Effect of microwave heating damage on the electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of fibre-reinforced cement mortars
(Elsevier, 2018)
Nowadays, refurbishing of existing structures has gained interest in order to reduce both the construction materials used and the construction and demolition waste production. For that purpose, there are several methods ...
Framework for the design and analysis of steel fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete structures
(Elsevier, 2012-05-31)
This research focuses on the structural applications of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC). Various fibers are first studied, in order to choose the most suitable type in accordance with the specific application. A ...
Estudio para la optimización de la composición de un HACFRA (hormigón autocompactante reforzado con fibras de acero) estructural
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CIentíficas (CSIC), 2015)
El interés de un HACFRA (Hormigón autocompactante reforzado con fibras de acero), radica en la combinación del incremento de capacidad resistente con respecto al hormigón y disminución de la fisuración, aportada por la ...
Thermal performance of sawdust and lime-mud concrete masonry units
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Over the past three decades, growing interest in the properties of thermal envelopes and their enhancement has led to the development of new sustainable materials. Nevertheless, Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs) with negligible ...
The prediction of bending strengths in SFRSCC using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
(Elsevier, 2014)
This research establishes a correlation between the predicted fiber orientation in Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete (SFRC) and the flexural behavior of the composite material. It is well known that the proper alignment of ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
Sustainable Alternative of Structural Concrete Retaining Tanks
(Emerald Publishing, 2018-05)
The environmental footprint of the construction industry requires the quantification of new developments to appraise their sustainable contribution. Recent developments in relation to the merging of steel fibre reinforced ...
Study of historical developments in the use of fire resistant steels
(Taylor&Francis, 2014-10-29)
This paper presents a review of the most relevant articles on fire-resistant (FR) steels, as part of a research project at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) on the FR properties of steelstructures. An important ...
