Structural Health Monitoring of Partially Replaced Carbon Fabric-Reinforced Concrete Beam

open access: yesFibers
Textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) is a composite concrete material that utilizes textile reinforcement in place of steel reinforcement. In this paper, the efficacy of the partial replacement of steel reinforcement with textile reinforcement as a ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Evaluation of Behavior Characteristics of Reinforced Concrete Beam Shear Strengthening with Different FRCMs

open access: yesBuildings
This paper evaluated the structural behavior of shear-strengthened externally bonded FRCM composites. The additional shear strength of FRCM composites with three different types of textile grids (T1, T2, and T3) was analyzed for different crack patterns ...

Preliminary Studies to Use Textile Fibers Obtained from Recycled Tires to Reinforce Asphalt Mixtures

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Transport Infrastructure, 2018
The use of crumb rubber in the modification of asphalt has occurred because of the problems related to disposal of scrap tires. However, the use of scrap tires in asphalt pavements, known as asphalt rubber pavements, can minimize environmental impacts ...

Optical Aspects on the Mineral Matrix – Fibre Bonding (Part 2)

open access: yesBulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2021
Concrete is one of the most used construction materials but there is also the need to continuously improve it. The high consumption of natural resources and energy when manufacturing cement demand a “greener” approach.

Using digital and hand printing techniques to compensate for loss: re-establishing colour and texture in historic textiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Conservators use a range of 'gap filling' techniques to improve the structural stability and presentation of objects. Textile conservators often use fabric supports to provide reinforcement for weak areas of a textile and to provide a visual infill in ...
