On the path to a new generation of cement-based composites through the use of lignocellulosic micro/nanofibers [PDF]
Due to its high biocompatibility, bio-degradability, and low cost, cellulose finds application in disparate areas of research. Here we focus our attention on the potential applications of cellulose nanofiber in cement-basedmaterials for the building ...

Multi-objective optimization of carbon/glass hybrid composites with newly developed resin (NDR) using gray relational analysis [PDF]
Purpose: It is seen that little amount of work on optimization of mechanical properties taking into consideration the combined effect of design variables such as stacking angle, stacking sequence, different resins and thickness of composite laminates has

Flexural Performance of Activated Hwangtoh Concrete Beam [PDF]
As a eco-friendly material, Hwangtoh(red clay) has been studied for a partial or complete replacement of portland cement. Most of existing studies focused on the mechanical properties of the Hwangtoh concrete including the compressive strength, drying shrinkage, creep.

Flexural performance of ferrocement based on sustainable high-performance mortar
The selection of the building material for economic and sustainable construction requires understanding the material behavior. Therefore, this research studied the behavior of eco-friendly high-performance mortar(HPM) that is used for producing ferrocement. The experimental program has been divided into four phases.

Performance enhancement of nylon/Kevlar fiber composites through viscoelastically generated pre-stress [PDF]
Kevlar-29 fibers have high strength and stiffness but nylon 6,6 fibers have greater ductility. Thus by commingling these fibers prior to molding in a resin, the resulting hybrid composite may be mechanically superior to the corresponding single fiber ...

Impact of Wetting–Drying Cycles on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Wood Waste–Gypsum Composites [PDF]
Large amounts of wood waste are generated each year in the world. In an attempt to identify a good recovery option for those residues, wood waste from construction and demolition works were used as raw materials in gypsum plasters.

Flexural performance of precast WWCB-filled concrete floor slabs
Wood wool cement board is made of Portland cement as a cross-linking agent, wood fiber as a fiber reinforcement material, and some additives. The precast WWCB-filled concrete floor slabs are a new type of hollow slab. This structure formed by pouring the bottom layer of concrete, laying the WWCB, then pouring the top layer of concrete, and finally ...
