Dieterich Murr, Laura (author)The Netherlands is currently facing a significant challenge regarding its highway system due to the rise in traffic, especially in densely populated areas like The Randstad. However, constructing new infrastructure or replacing old bridges is not a practical solution due to environmental concerns. Most of the country's prestressed concrete...master thesis 2023

Nuri, Masi (author)Cracks that develop in concrete due to tensile stresses can lead to the corrosion of embedded reinforcing steel, which is a primary cause of concrete deterioration. It's common practice to introduce additional reinforcement to limit crack width in concrete. Another potential solution involves partially substituting concrete with alternative...master thesis 2023

Westerbeek, Elise (author)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...master thesis 2023

Budnik, Bartosz (author)Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is an innovative type of fibre-reinforced cement-based composite that has superior tensile properties. Because of this, it holds the potential to enhance the shear capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, if applied properly.<br/><br/>Experimental research was thus carried out with the purpose of...master thesis 2023

Baloch, Hassan (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Matthys, Stijn (author)There is a need to develop innovative repair materials which can overcome the challenges of cement-based repair mortars being relatively prone to shrinkage effects. In practice, free shrinkage of repair mortar is often considered as an indicator for potential cracking and delamination of applied repair mortars due to restrained shrinkage...journal article 2023

Mustafa, S. (author), Harrass, Othman (author), Lukovic, M. (author)The number of hybrid concrete structures is increasing due to the need for repairing/strengthening existing structures and the development of new hybrid concrete systems. The structural response of these hybrid structures might be governed by the strength of the interface between the two concretes, making it essential to characterize the...conference paper 2023

He, S. (author), Mustafa, S. (author), Chang, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)In the current study, experiments and numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the cracking behavior of reinforced concrete beams consisting of a very thin layer (i.e., 1 cm in thickness) of SHCC in the concrete cover, tension zone. A novel type of SHCC/concrete interface that features a weakened chemical adhesion but an enhanced...journal article 2023

van Overmeir, A.L. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Bos, Freek P. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Several studies have shown the potential of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as a self-reinforcing printable mortar. However, papers published on the development of three-dimensional printable SHCC (3DP-SHCC) often report a discrepancy between the mechanical properties of the cast and printed specimens. This paper evaluates the...journal article 2023

van Overmeir, A.L. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Bos, F. P. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)With the introduction of 3D concrete printing, research started on how to include reinforcement in 3D printed structures. Initial studies on the implementation of strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as self-reinforcing printable mortars have shown promising results. The development of this new type of SHCC comes with additional...journal article 2023

He, S. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)In the current study, experiments were carried out to investigate the cracking behaviour of reinforced concrete beams consisting of 1-cm-thick layer of Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) in the concrete cover zone. The hybrid SHCC/concrete beams with different types of interfaces were tested and compared with control reinforced...conference paper 2023

Bezemer, Jelle (author)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,...master thesis 2022

Mustafa, S. (author), Singh, S. (author), Hordijk, D. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)Hybrid application of conventional concrete and Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is recently shown to be promising for crack width control. In this paper, a combined experimental and numerical study is performed to validate the concept and to study the effect of interface treatment on crack width control. The interface is varied...journal article 2022

Gu, D. (author), Pan, Jinlong (author), Lukovic, M. (author), He, Jixuan (author)Application of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement in concrete beams may cause large deflection and crack width, as well as low shear capacity and ductility due to relatively small stiffness of FRP materials. To avoid these unfavorable factors and evaluate the shear behavior of FRP-reinforced structural members, a high-performance...journal article 2022
