Microstructure characterisation and mechanical properties of a functionally-graded NbC/high chromium white cast iron composite
Published 2018-01-01A functionally graded NbC – high chromium white cast iron composite was successfully fabricated by centrifugal casting for high wear applications. The migration of primary NbC particles to the outer periphery, as predicted ...Open AccessArticle -
Influence of concrete strength and steel fibre geometry on the fibre/matrix interface
Published 2017-01-01The main objective of the research described in this paper was to evaluate how the concrete compressive strength and the geometry of the steel fibres influence the behaviour of the fibre/matrix interface. With this aim, ...Open AccessArticle -
Probabilistic-based characterisation of the mechanical properties of CFRP laminates
Published 2018-01-01Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been increasingly used worldwide in the strengthening of civil engineering structures. As FRP becomes more common in structural strengthening, the development of probability-based ...Article -
Modelling the behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete using a discrete strong discontinuity approach
Published 2016-01-01The use of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is gradually wide-spreading due to the significant advantages relatively to Normal Concrete (NC). In the case of steel fibres, the quasi-brittle behaviour of plain concrete ...Open AccessPreprint -
Seismic vulnerability of multi-span continuous girder bridges with steel fibre reinforced concrete columns
Published 2017-01-01The occurrence of earthquakes during the lifetime of bridges can result in the closure or even the failure of the structure. The vulnerability of multi-span continuous girder (MSCG) bridges strongly depends on the seismic ...Open AccessArticle
