Repaired Reinforced Concrete Beams with Normal and High Strength Concrete
In resent years several attempts were undertaken to repair damaged reinforced concrete structures. Studies on the effectiveness of repaired and strengthened reinforced concrete elements which fail primarily due to formation of major flexural cracks are ...

Appendix B:Model for Single Crack Extension in Lightly Reinforced Beams [PDF]
In this appendix the failure behaviour of lightly reinforced concrete beams is investigated. A numerical model based on the fictitious crack approach according to Hillerborg [1] is established in order to estimate the load-deflection curve for lightly ...

CRACK RESISTANCE OF REINFORCED CONCRETED AND REINFORCED RUBBER CONCRETE BEAMS
<p>The issue of the appearance and development of cracks, as well as an increase the cracking moment is of particular importance for bending elements operating under aggressive environmental conditions. In structures without cracks, steel reinforcement operates in fairly favorable conditions.

A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Near-surface mounted carbon fibre rod used for combined strengthening and cathodic protection for reinforced concrete structures [PDF]
The dual function of a carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) rod working as the near-surface mounted (NSM) strengthening and impressed current cathodic protection (ICCP) anode for corroded reinforced concrete structures has been proposed and researched.
