Awasthy, Nikhil (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Hordijk, Dick (author), Šavija, B. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)Concrete is characterized in terms of its engineering properties, mainly strength and stiffness, which are subsequently used in structural design. However, the apparent (i.e., measured) concrete properties are not intrinsic but dependent on the conditions under which the measurement is performed. Herein a combined experimental and numerical...journal article 2023

Huang, Y. (author), Gu, D. (author), Mustafa, S. (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)Ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is an advanced cementitious composite with high compressive strength and low permeability. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and superior durability, UHPFRC is considered promising for strengthening of the existing concrete bridges. In order to examine its strengthening...journal article 2023

Huang, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)Ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) exhibits high compressive and tensile strength together with outstanding durability. Due to these superior properties, UHPFRC is promising for retrofitting existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges. While research and on-site applications show the significant improvement of RC structures...conference paper 2023

Reitsema, A.D. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author)Most of the bridges and viaducts in the Netherlands were built in the sixties and seventies of the last century, and an increasing number of them will have to be replaced due to technical or functional reasons. The Netherlands is not an exception, many industrialized countries will face a similar replacement task in the near future. With the...journal article 2020
