TL;DR: In this article, the impact response of fiber-reinforced aerated concrete was investigated under a three-point bending configuration based on free-fall of an instrumented impact device.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of impact energy on the mechanical properties of textile-reinforced aerated concrete sandwich panels was investigated using an instrumented three-point bending experiment under static and low-velocity dynamic loading.

TL;DR: In this article, the fracture response of mortars in which OPC is partially replaced by limestone or a combination of limestone and fly ash/metakaolin (i.e., for total OPC replacement levels of 20% and 35% by volume) is reported, and the blended mortars demonstrate fracture parameters (fracture toughness, K IC S and critical crack tip opening displacement, CTOD c, determined using the two-parameter fracture model, TPFM) that are comparable to or better than those of pure OPC formulations in spite of having slightly lower compressive strengths

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of mineral wollastonite micro and sub-micron fibers on the mechanical properties of cement-based systems were studied using compressive strength and notched beam flexural tests.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of tensile and flexural tests is used to measure the constitutive properties of thin section cement composites using a simplified linear analysis, and it is shown that the variability between the test results can be as high as 200-300%.
