Hybrid reinforced technology (combination of steel reinforcing bars and fibers) can be considered as a competitive alternative to the already existing solutions for the construction of column-supported flat slabs. Constructed ...

Sandwich panels composed of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) and extruded polystyrene foam (EPS) represent a light and insulating solution compared with other types of enclosure walls, such as steel-reinforced ...

El objetivo de este trabajo es el desarrollo de una metodología para, a partir de una campaña de ensayo reducida (ensayo a tracción) y el estudio del proceso de formación de deformaciones inelásticas mediante modelos ...

The present study was designed to investigate the bond mechanism between flax nonwoven fabric reinforced lime mortars and four different types of masonry stones. The researchers carried out a comprehensive characterization ...

Plastic Laminated Object Manufacturing has not been assessed from the flexural properties point of view. The deflection range in parts manufactured by this technique is wider than in parts fabricated by other additive ...

The addition of fibres to concrete is an effective solution for enhancing its post-cracking tensile strength (fctR). Currently, this property is characterized through high-cost and time-consuming experimental tests since ...

Nowadays the industry spends massive amounts of money on the supervision and replacement of rail fasteners. This happens due to the fact that damaged fasteners generate vibrations and noise, which is uncomfortable and ...

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has quickly become an attractive solution for increasing both the mechanical performance and sustainability of concrete structures. In particular, polymeric fibres are increasingly recognized ...
