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

Civiero, R. (author), Perez-Rafols, F. (author), Nicola, L. (author)The effect of the presence of a passivation layer on a metal rough surface during contact loading is investigated by means of dislocation dynamics simulations. The metal body is modeled as an FCC single crystal with a self-affine rough surface that is either bare, or covered by a thin coating, impenetrable to dislocations. This analysis...journal article 2023

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

van Overmeir, A.L. (author), Chaves Figueiredo, S. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Bos, Freek P. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Since the advent of three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP), several studies have shown the potential of strain hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) as a self-reinforcing printable mortar. However, only a few papers focus on achieving sufficient buildability when developing printable SHCC. This study investigates the role of the...journal article 2022

Xu, Y. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Cracking in concrete needs to be limited for esthetical and durability reasons. Currently, this is commonly done by using steel rebars in the structure or fiber reinforcement in the material. With certain fiber types and micromechanical design, it is even possible to create cement-based materials with steel like (i.e. quasi-plastic) properties –...journal article 2019
