Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Fatigue stresses are receiving increasing attention in structural engineering, particularly in the design of increasingly slender structures. However, the mechanical response of concrete—particularly its fatigue behavior under very high numbers of load cycles—is still scarcely understood.

Second International Interactive Symposium on UHPC, 2019 In the 1980s, the laboratories of AALBORG PORTLAND A/S, in Denmark, conducted pioneering research to develop very dense cement-based binder-matrices, in order to fully exploit the performance of concrete. These efforts based on the AALBORG WHITE®Portlandcement resulted in the first ever patented ultra-high performance steel fiber ...

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 4764-4779, 25 August 2026.ABSTRACT Lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) offers clear advantages for sustainable construction, including reduced density and improved thermal insulation. However, its mechanical and fracture behavior is difficult to characterize due to the heterogeneity and brittle crushing of porous lightweight aggregates.

Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 4398-4415, June 2026.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 ...
