Concrete spall damage of UHPC slabs under contact detonation - An experimental investigation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Concrete spallation is a typical brittle damage mode under close-in or contact explosions. Upon concrete spallation, a large number of fragments displace from the concrete surface with high speed and these fragments endanger the personnel and equipment ...

UHPC in the UK

open access: yesSecond International Interactive Symposium on UHPC, 2019
Despite a recent high-profile application at Hammersmith Flyover, adoption of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) in the UK remains limited. This contrasts with use globally which continues to grow. A state of the art study was undertaken on behalf of Highways England, the government-owned company responsible for operating and maintaining the UK’s ...

Concrete in architecture: Redefining form, space, function, and insights from bibliometric analysis

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete has become a cornerstone in architectural and engineering innovation, as it seamlessly integrates structural performance with artistic expression. Its evolution from ancient opus caementicium to contemporary ultra‐high‐performance concrete illustrates its adaptability to the change in technological, environmental, and design paradigms.

Modeling the response of UHPC shear‐critical beams: Integrating nonlinear finite element analysis and artificial neural network

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract An analytical framework suited for the analysis of shear‐critical ultra‐high performance concrete (UHPC) members is presented. The numerical methodology utilizes a nonlinear finite element analysis formulation integrated with an artificial neural network (ANN) that characterizes the UHPC tension response based on its mix design. In addition, a

Impact of super absorbent polymers on early age behavior of ultra-high performance concrete walls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Early age cracking, a common problem for Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC), is caused by Autogenous Shrinkage (AS) and self-desiccation arising from the chemical shrinkage during the cement hydration reactions when the deformation is restrained ...

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...
