Influence of ambient temperature on the mechanical properties of macro fibre reinforced concrete

The incorporation of macro fibers have been an effective method to improve the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. As the mechanical properties of Macro fiber reinforced concrete are mostly tested at room temperatures, the effect of ambient temperature on the mechanical properties have been rarely reported. In this investigation,...

Service life prediction of concrete structures under chloride environment based on Monte Carlo method

Transport of chlorides is one of the most critical factors determining the service life of concrete structures under ocean environments, and diffusion is usually regarded as the major mechanism for the transport of chloride ions into concrete. As chloride diffusivity is affected by temperature, most existing service life prediction models use...

Mechanical and chloride permeability properties of coarse fibre reinforced concrete

Synthetic fibers have been widely studied as reinforcing materials to increase the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. According to its diameter, fibers can be categorized as micro and macro (or coarse) fibers. As most research focuses on the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced concrete, its chloride permeability properties...
