Book excerpt: A technical basis is being developed for selecting materials which can be used in constructing security barriers with improved penetration resistance. The first phase of the work is concerned with developing rational performance tests for evaluating the impact resistance of concrete. Three impact tests are currently being developed to determine the resistance of concrete to single impact, repeated impact, and to small arms and small projectiles. After the performance tests are developed, performance criteria will be proposed. Preliminary results from repeated impact tests indicate that steel fibers can substantially increase the impact resistance of concrete as compared to expanded metal and conventional steel bar reinforcing. Ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements appear to be useful in assessing the crack damage occurring during the repeated impact test.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.

Download or read book Cement-Based Composites written by Andrzej M. Brandt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-01-29 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cement-Based Composites takes a different approach from most other books in the field by viewing concrete as an advanced composite material, and by considering the properties and behaviour of cement-based materials from this stance. It deals particularly, but not exclusively, with newer forms of cement-based materials. This new edition takes a critical approach to the subject as well as presenting up-to-date knowledge. Emphasis is given to non-conventional reinforcement and design methods, problems at the materials' interfaces and to the durability of structures. High strength composites and novel forms of cement-based composites are described in detail. After a basic introduction the book explores the various components of these materials and their properties. It then deals with mechanical properties and considers characteristics under various loading and environmental conditions, and concludes by examining design, optimization and economics with particular emphasis on high-performance concretes. Researchers, graduate students and practising engineers will find this book valuable.

Download or read book Concrete Solutions 2011 written by Michael Grantham and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2011-09-08 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Concrete Solutions series of International Conferences on Concrete Repair began in 2003, with a conference held in St. Malo, France in association with INSA Rennes, followed by the second conference in 2006 ( with INSA again, at St. Malo, France), and the third conference in 2009 (in Padova and Venice, in association with the University of Padova). Now in 2011, the event is being held in Dresden in Germany and has brought together some 112 papers from 33 countries. Whereas electrochemical repair tended to dominate the papers in earlier years, new developments in structural strengthening with composites have been an increasingly important topic, with a quarter of the papers now focusing on this area. New techniques involving Near Surface Mounted (NSM) carbon fibre rods, strain hardening composites, and new techniques involving the well established carbon fibre and polyimide wrapping and strengthening systems are presented. Seventeen papers concentrate on case studies which are all-important in such conferences, to learn about what works (and what doesn’t work) on real structures. Thirteen papers are devoted to new developments in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT). Other topics include service life modelling, fire damage, surface protection methods and coatings, patch repair, general repair techniques and whole life costing. This book is essential reading for anyone engaged in the concrete repair field, from engineers, to academics and students and also to clients, who, as the end user, are ultimately responsible for funding these projects and making those difficult decisions about which system or method to use.

Download or read book Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites written by Minoru Kunieda and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of cementitious composites. It covers advanced fiber-reinforced concrete materials such as strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC), textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) and high-performance fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (HPFRCC). All these new materials exhibit pseudo-ductile behavior resulting from the formation of multiple, fine cracks when subject to tensile loading. The use of such types of fiber-reinforced concrete could revolutionize the planning, development, dimensioning, structural and architectural design, construction of new and strengthening and repair of existing buildings and structures in many areas of application. The contents reflect the outcomes of the activities of SHCC5 (International RILEM Workshop on Strain Hardening Cementitious Composites) in 2022.

Download or read book Abrasion and Impact Resistance of Concrete Under Different Curing Conditions written by Sara Seyedfarizani and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study aims to assess the mechanical properties, impact resistance, and abrasion resistance of a series of self-consolidating concrete (SCC) and normal vibrated concrete (NVC) mixtures under different curing conditions. The studied variables included coarse-to-fine (C/F) aggregate ratio (0.7 and 1.2), water-to-cement (w/c) ratio (0.4 and 0.55), the addition of 0.35% steel fibers (SFs), and the use of different supplementary cementing materials (SCMs) types (metakaolin (MK) and silica fume (SLF)). The research program was divided into three stages. The first stage included trial mixtures to optimize a number of SCC mixtures with different proportions. In this stage, the appropriate percentages of SCMs (MK or SLF) and the maximum percentage of SFs that can be used to develop successful SCC were optimized. The second stage included evaluation of the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and impact resistance of the optimized mixtures. The third stage investigated the flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, and abrasion resistance of the same optimized mixtures. All studied samples were cured under four different curing conditions, including moisture curing conditions at 23o C, air curing at 23o C, and cold temperatures curing conditions at +5o C and -10o C. Curing concrete at +5o C showed significant reductions in the abrasion strength, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength (STS), and impact resistance, when compared to moisture curing at 23o C. The magnitude of these reductions significantly increased when curing concrete at -10o C. Mixtures with higher C/F ratio, or higher w/b ratio, or mixtures with SFs or SCMs were more affected by the cold curing compared to the control mixture. The results also showed that cold temperature curing had a more pronounced negative effect on the impact resistance and STS compared to the compressive strength.
