TLDR
In this paper, the authors present a review on the behaviour of fiber-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identify the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction.Abstract:
Concrete is subjected to sudden impact loads in water-controlled structures like dams, tunnels; airport terminal asphalts; structures used for military and industrial purposes. When subjected to extreme load conditions and aggressive environments, plain concrete which is already brittle in nature fails suddenly. Fibre-reinforced concrete is a rapidly developing construction technique which can be used for almost all structural systems. Fibres enhance the ductility of concrete structure by improving their mechanical properties. This paper presents a review on the behaviour of fibre-reinforced concrete under normal as well as impact loads and also identifies the materials that can be used for blending cement in concrete as cost-effective means of construction is one of the challenging aspects in these industries.read more

B. Karthikeyan,G. Dhinakaran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of plain cement concrete (PCC) and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with silica fume (SF) and ultra-fine TiO2 (UFTiO2) as mineral admixtures was investigated.

Friction of carbon tows and fine single fibres
TL;DR: In this paper, an experiment was conducted on carbon tows and single carbon fibres to highlight some friction behaviours to help better understand the friction mechanisms that occur during the manufacture of carbon composites, which are responsible for damage that reduces the specifications and lifetime of mechanical parts.

Saponification and scaling in ordinary concrete exposed to hydrocarbon fluids and high temperature at military airbases
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the underlying scientific facts for the scaling of PCC aprons at military airbases and reveal a relationship between the depth of scaling and aviation oils' penetration depth, and the effect of high temperature, micro-cracks and voids, and their influences on the scaling process.

Simulation of dynamic response for steel fibrous concrete members using new material modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors formulated new nonlinear material constitutive mathematical models of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) material depending on many experimental data available in literature and used Implicit Newmark with corrector-predictor algorithm was adopted for time integration solution of the equation of the motion.
