Influence of fibres on the mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete matrixes
Published 2017-01-01An experimental analysis focused on the mechanical behaviour of fibre reinforced concrete matrixes (FRCM) is presented using a total of three hundred and twelve specimens. A reference plain mixture was first defined and ...Open AccessArticle -
Numerical modelling of concrete beams at serviceability conditions with a discrete crack approach and noniterative solution-finding algorithms
Published 2017-01-01This paper describes the development and validation of a comprehensive numerical model enabling the simulation of reinforced concrete beams at serviceability conditions using a discrete crack approach. The highly non-linear ...Open AccessArticle -
Crack propagation monitoring using an image deformation approach
Published 2017-01-01An image deformation method is herein proposed to monitor the crack propagation in structures. The proposed approach is based on a computational algorithm that uses displacements measured by photogrammetry or image correlation ...Open AccessArticle -

ASSESSING STEEL STRAINS ON REINFORCED CONCRETE MEMBERS FROM SURFACE CRACKING PATTERNS
Published 2015-01-01The measurement of steel strains in reinforced concrete structures is often critical to characterise stresses and forces along the member. In this scope, this manuscript describes the development of a method to assess steel ...Open AccessArticle
