(author), Schlangen, E. (author)Soft inclusions, such as capsules and other particulate admixtures are increasingly being used in cementitious materials for functional purposes (i.e. self-healing and self-sensing of concrete). Yet, their influence on the fracture behaviour of the material is sometimes overlooked and requires in-depth study for the optimization of mechanical...conference paper 2019

Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Strain hardening cementitious composites are a class of cementitious materials showing metal-like (i.e. pseudo-plastic) behavior in tension due to their multiple cracking ability. This is commonly achieved through use of fiber reinforcement (such as PVA) or, similarly, textile reinforcement (TRC). Increasing the ductility is important in...conference paper 2019

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Traditionally, mechanical properties of cementitious materials are designed<br/>“chemically”, namely by configuring their mix proportions. Owning to the development of 3D printing technology, “physical” tailoring the meso-structure of cementitious materials to design their mechanical properties becomes possible. In the present study,...conference paper 2019

Huigen, Vincent (author), Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)In order to improve the behaviour of cementitious material under in bending, 3D printed polymeric lattice meshes were used as an alternative to fibre reinforcement. Lattice meshes with different cell sizes and different surface roughness were designed and printed. Plain mortar samples and reinforced samples were casted. After curing, 4-point...conference paper 2018

Chang, Z. (author), Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Extrusion-based 3D concrete printing (3DCP) results in deposited materials with complex microstructures that have high porosity and distinct anisotropy. Due to the material heterogeneity and rapid growth of cracks, fracture analysis in these air-void structures is often complex, resulting in a high computational cost. This study proposes a...journal article 2022

Xu, S. (author), Liu, X. (author), Tabakovic, A. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Microwave heating has been shown to be an effective method of heating asphalt concrete and in turn healing the damage. As such, microwave heating holds great potential in rapid (1–3 min) and effective damage healing, resulting in improvement in the service life, safety, and sustainability of asphalt pavement. This study focused on the microwave...journal article 2021

Xu, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Door toepassing van 3D-printtechnieken kunnen cementgebonden materialen worden ontwikkeld met een bijzondere, niet-homogene interne structuur. Deze materialen kunnen auxetisch gedrag vertonen: ze zetten zijdelings uit (worden dikker) wanneer ze worden uitgerekt en ze trekken zijdelings samen als ze worden samengeperst. Aan de TU Delft is...journal article 2020
