      Concrete dams with expansions from different origins are rare and scarcely documented in the literature, therefore their study gains special interest. This study presents the case of a 62-year-old concrete dam with signs ...
    • Fibre distribution and tensile response anisotropy in sprayed fibre reinforced concrete 

      Segura Castillo, Luis; Pialarissi Cavalaro, Sergio Henrique; Goodier, Chris; Aguado de Cea, Antonio; Austin, Simon (2018-02)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Sprayed steel fibre reinforced concrete (SSFRC) is a material that tends to present anisotropy, due to the action of the spraying process inducing preferential fibre orientation. Despite numerous applications worldwide ...
