Structural performance of steel-concrete sandwich beams with carbon nanofiber reinforcement [PDF]
Cementitious materials such as concrete are typically characterised as quasi-brittle with low tensile strength and low strain capacity, which hence affect the long-term durability of the structure.

Flexural performance evaluation of slab using welded bar mat
This is an experimental study on flexural performance evaluation when welded bar mats (WBM), which improve the rib shape, strength, and diameter limits of the existing structural welded wire fabric (WWF), are applied to slabs.

Flexural Performance of FRP-Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete Beam [PDF]
Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) rebar and geopolymer concrete (GPC) are relatively new construction materials that are now been increasingly used in the construction sectors. Both materials exhibit superior structural and durability properties that also make them a sustainable alternative solution.

Lightweight SFRC benefitting from a pre-soaking and internal curing process [PDF]
The presented research program is focused on the design of a structural lightweight fiber-reinforced concrete harnessing an internal curing process. Pre-soaked waste red ceramic fine aggregate and pre-soaked artificial clay expanded coarse aggregate were

Investigation on Flexural Performance of RC Beams Flexurally Strengthened by Side-bonded CFRP Laminates [PDF]
It is an effective way to improve the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members by externally bonded carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) laminates on the soffit of the members. However, there is little investigation on flexural performance of RC beam flexurally strengthened by side-bonded FRP laminates.

Flexural Performance of Laminated Bamboo Lumber Beams
This study investigated the flexural performance of 20 laminated bamboo beam specimens. The load-strain and load-displacement relationships were obtained from tests, and the detailed failure modes, bending strength, and elastic modulus for all specimens are reported.

Study on the Flexural Performance of Ultrahigh-Performance Concrete-Normal Concrete Composite Slabs. [PDF]
In recent years, there have been an increasing number of examples of using ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) as a pavement layer to form an ultrahigh-performance concrete–normal concrete (UHPC–NC) composite structure to improve the bearing capacity of bridges.
