Fiber reinforced concrete mechanical properties are limited due to low adhesion between polymer fibers and cement matrix. To ensure a strong interaction between the two materials, polypropylene fibers (d = 0.305mm) were ...

This paper addresses optimization of mix-design and granulometric curves of aggregate of chemically resistant cementitious sprayed mix. The target of the paper is to improve properties of currently developed mix-design, ...

This paper deals with the use of high-speed milling process for recycling old concrete and direct determination of the potential of input waste. For this purpose, three different types of waste concrete were used: prefabricated ...

The paper describes an experimental program for studying the fatigue performance of GFRP bars, which has been initiated by the authors. Two different test configurations were used to assess the fatigue behaviour. The bare ...

The article deals with lightweight concrete with non-conventional reinforcement and its application in thin-walled structures. As part of experimental research, several sets of thin-walled slab and complementary specimen ...

Lime-based renders are common part of historical or older buildings that don’t always provide a comfortable inside climate due to the problems with high thermal losses. Thermal insulation renders may possibly retrofit or ...

In the future, it is planned to use up to 50% of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) for the production of new building structures. This leads us to think about how we can use recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as ...
