Volume fraction of fibres (A), aspect ratio of fibres (B) and fibres orientation (C) are considered as control factors in the determination of hardness strength, hardness strength of plantain fiber reinforced polyester composites (PFR P). These properties were determined for plantain empty fruit bunch (PEFB) and plantain pseudo stem (PPS). Hardness tests were conducted on the replicated samples...

In reinforced concrete design, there are situations where transfer of shear across a specific plane needs to be considered. Examples of such situation include corbels, bearing shoes, ledger beam bearing, and a host of connection between precast concrete elements. In this study, the shear transfer behavior of reinforced concrete is investigated experimentally by conducting test on 6 precracked p...

As a low-carbon ecological cement-based material, SAC (sulfoaluminate cement) has become research hotspot. This study developed SAC-based high-performance concrete material with good durability and high toughness. The mechanical properties of different scales MSF (macro steel fiber) mSF (micro reinforced sulfoaluminate composites were mainly studied, including their compressive strength, flexur...
