He, S. (author), Nuri, Masi (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This study investigates the structural behaviour and self-healing performance of hybrid reinforced concrete (RC) beams, enhanced with a 1.5-cm-thick self-healing cover composed of bacteria-embedded strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC), for its potential in crack width control and crack healing. The research focuses on the...journal article 2024

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

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

Lukovic, M. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), Huang, Z. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC) is an innovative material which, due to the special material composition and the addition of fibres, exhibits a controlled microcracking behaviour under tensile stresses. As such it might be a promising material for improvement of durability of concrete structures.<br/><br/>An experimental study was...journal article 2019

Nirmalsingh, R.S.J.L. (author)During the calculation for the crack width control in reinforced elements subjected to bending as stated in the NEN-EN 1992-1-1 (Eurocode 2) the engineers at ARCADIS found that the outcome of these calculations lead to the application of larger amounts of steel reinforcement in order to limit the crack width in the structure, compared to...master thesis 2016
