Induction healing of concrete reinforced by bitumen-coated steel fibres
, 2016 Cracking in concrete structures compromises the durability and functionality of the structures themselves. Different kinds of self-healing concretes, less or more sophisticated, have been developed in the past ten years to overcome early cracks in ...

Investigation of thermal behaviour of a hybrid concrete floor using embedded sensors
, 2018 Concrete structures expand and contract in response to temperature changes which can result in structural strain and cracking. However, there is a limited amount of robust field data on hybrid concrete floor structures. Shortage of such data impacts on

MESOSCALE MODELING OF CONCRETE: MICROPLANE-BASED APPROACH [PDF]
, 2016 In the paper mesoscale model for plain concrete, based on the microplane theory [1] is presented. In the model concrete is treated as a bi-phase composite material, consisting of coarse aggregate and mortar matrix.
