Effect of NSC-SHCC interface in different bond tests using the lattice model: A numerical and parametric study

Strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) can be used to reduce the amount of reinforcement needed to control crack widths. SHCC has a strain hardening behaviour with dense micro-cracking, which makes it more ductile compared to conventional concrete. Conventional concrete can be used in the non-critical locations. An interface is formed...

The Effect of Height Scaling on the Flexural Crack Width Controlling Behavior of Hybrid R/SHCC Beams: A Numerical and Experimental study

Limiting maximum crack widths is a serviceability limit state, which ensures the durability of reinforced structures. In current practice, maximum crack widths are limited by using additional reinforcement, on top of the amount of reinforcement required for the designed ultimate bearing capacity. Reducing the amount of reinforcing steel used,...
