Performance of shcc with bacteria for concrete patch repair

The overall performance of concrete patch repair systems depends on the durability of and compatibility between the concrete substrate and the repair material. This paper investigates the performance of a new type of SHCC material with embedded bacteria as a repair material. The bacteria are a healing agent to enhance the durability of the...

Mechanical behaviour of wood fibre reinforced cementitious composites

Fibre-matrix interface properties in a wood fibre reinforced cement matrix

Wood fibres can be a low cost reinforcement for cementitious materials for structural applications. In order to design a ductile cementitious material reinforced with softwood fibres the fibrematrix interface properties are studied. Pullout tests have been carried out to determine the bond strength and the influence in the pullout behaviour of...
