Advancing Smart Construction Through BIM-Enabled Automation in Reinforced Concrete Slab Design


23 January, 2025
Building information modeling (BIM) has proven to be a valuable technology in the fields of architecture, construction management, and maintenance management. However, its full implementation in structural engineering remains unfulfilled due to the persistent use of outdated design methods. Insufficient automation in the design process could lead to structural defects,...Read More

Effect of Fiber Type and Content on dynamic tensile behavior of Fiber-Reinforced High-Strength Concrete determined by a split Hopkinson pressure bar


31 March, 2023
This paper presents an experimental study on the dynamic tensile performance of high-strength concrete reinforced with fibers of different types and contents. In total, five different high-strength concretes with a similar compressive strength of 85 MPa were investigated. One of the five concrete was a plain high-strength concrete (HSC) as...Read More

Effect of High Strain Rate on Tensile Strength of SHCCs in Comparison to that of FRHSCs


16 August, 2022
This paper presents an experimental study on the effect of high strain rate on the tensile behavior of two Strain-Hardening Cement Composites (SHCCs), compared to that of Fiber-Reinforced High-Strength Concretes (FRHSCs) with similar compressive strength. One of the SHCCs was reinforced with 2% of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers by volume...Read More

Assessing the effectiveness of UHPFRC, FRHSC and ECC against high velocity projectile impact


31 March, 2021
High velocity projectile impact (HVPI) test was carried out on three classes of cement composites to assess their performance. The tests were conducted on thick block specimens using non-deformable ogive-nosed projectiles with a mass of 250 g and a diameter of 28 mm at approximately 400 m/s. The severity of damage was quantified by the depth of penetration...Read More

Critical parameters for the compressive strength of high-strength concrete


3 July, 2017
This study investigates the influence of several material properties underlying the failure mechanism of high-strength concrete (HSC) under uniaxial compression. An experimental-numerical characterization of a single inclusion block (SIB) – an idealized composite comprising of a granite cylindrical core embedded within a high-strength mortar (HSM) matrix – is first carried out.  Parametric...Read More
