Lantsoght, E.O.L. (author)One of the barriers to implementation of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) into structural applications is the lack of understanding of the shear behaviour of SFRC members. This paper proposes a theoretical model for the shear capacity of SFRC members with mild steel reinforcement based on the shear-carrying mechanisms and sectional...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Auxetic cementitious composites (ACCs) with improved mechanical properties are created, by casting 3D printed polymeric auxetic reinforcement structures inside cementitious mortar. Four types of ACCs incorporating reinforcement with different auxetic mechanisms were prepared: “re-entrant” (RE), “rotating-square” (RS), “chiral” (CR) and ...journal article 2023

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)A composite can have properties much better than the components it is made of. This work proposes a three-dimensional auxetic cementitious-polymeric composite structure (3D-ACPC) which incorporates 3D printed polymeric shell with cementitious mortar. Uniaxial compression experiments are performed on the 3D-ACPC to study their quasi-static...journal article 2023

Quan, D. (author), Zhao, Guoqun (author), Scarselli, Gennaro (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)A novel co-curing process was proposed for the bonding of carbon fibre/epoxy composites by replacing traditional epoxy adhesives with carbon fibre/PEEK (CF/PEEK) tapes, with an attempt to improve the structure integrity. The lap-shear strengths, fatigue resistance and mode-I and mode-II fracture behaviour of the co-cured joints at 22 °C and...journal article 2022

(author), Qomaruddin, Mochammad (author), Sugianto, Felix Hariyanto (author), Lie, Han Ay (author)Asphalt pavement consists of aggregates resulting in a waste material at end of its life. The aggregates can be reused as basic material for asphalt or cementitious binding agents. In both scenarios, the recycled aggregates should provide a good bond with the binder to achieve strength. This study focuses on reusing recycled asphalt...journal article 2022
