Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) has many advantages compared to traditional concrete. However, it often suffers from high brittleness that limits its various applications. Reinforcing the SCC by fiber inclusion can be a fruitful way enhance performance. This study aims investigate how rheological and mechanical characteristics of are affected addition jute fibers for specific length 20 mm at ...

nanotechnology is a favorite research area that revolutionized mechanical and chemical properties of materials. recently, focusing on concrete as a porous material with micro-scale and nano-scale pores enthusiastic researchers developed their investigations to find out microstructure and mechanical properties of concrete. the aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of nano-silica as an a...

The bond between concrete and reinforcement bars is very important to develop the composite behaviour of reinforced concrete. Bond strength is influenced by several factors such as bar diameter, cover of concrete over the bar, spacing of bars, transverse reinforcement, grade and confinement of concrete around the bars, aggregates used in concrete, type of bars and coating applied on bars, if an...
