Concrete crack

Asphalt concrete pavement often appears damaged such as rutting, fatigue crack, potholes, etc. at high air temperature, heavy rain in long time, or at locations with high traffic, large horizontal force, and poor-quality construction sites. T This paper presents an evaluation of shear bond strength of double-layer asphalt samples fabricated by shear test device with normal pressure.

A big question in the numerical approaches for the mechanical behavior of the textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) composite under tensile loading is how to model the cracking of the cementitious matrix. This paper presents numerical results of 3-D modeling of TRC composite in which the non-linear behavior model was used by considering the cracking for the cementitious matrix.

Tensile properties of strain-hardening fiber-reinforced concrete are the key engineering parameters in determining bending resistance of the material. In this paper, an analytical model to predict tensile properties of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), a type of strain-hardening fiber-reinforced concretes, was performed based on single fiber pullout test.

The shear behavior of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) beams has been assessed in a large number of previous studies. However, the shear strength of corroded SFRC beams without shear reinforcement is still an unresolved topic. In this paper, the finite element models of non-corroded and corroded SFRC beams have been constructed and verified regarding load-displacement curves, crack patterns, and failure modes.
