Use of superabsorbent polymers to mitigate autogenous shrinkage in ultra-high performance concrete [PDF]
, 2019 Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with low w/c-ratio is very prone to the formation of cracks due to autogenous shrinkage. These cracks can lead to a decreased durability of the concrete, resulting in higher maintenance and/or repair costs in the ...

Recent advances in embedded technologies and self‐sensing concrete for structural health monitoring
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5300-5334, October 2025.Abstract Fully embedded and spatially diffuse sensors are central to the advancement of civil and construction engineering. Indeed, they serve as an enabling technology necessary for addressing the current challenges associated with through‐life management and structural health monitoring of existing structures and infrastructures. The need to identify

Study on Flexural Capacity of UHPC-NC Composite Slab with Reinforced Truss in the Normal Section
BuildingsUltra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits significantly higher tensile strength compared to normal concrete (NC). In this paper, the application of UHPC to the precast base plate of composite slabs was proposed, leading to the development of a ...

Shear transfer model for ultra‐high‐performance concrete incorporating fiber bridging mechanism
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5999-6018, October 2025.Abstract Ultra‐high‐performance concrete (UHPC) exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including high shear strength, partly attributed to the fiber bridging mechanism. However, existing shear transfer models for normal‐strength concrete have not considered the significant contribution of fibers.

Micromechanical modelling of self-healing cementitious materials [PDF]
, 2017 A new approach is described for simulating self-healing behaviour in cementitious materials with a two phase micro-mechanical constitutive model. A Mori-Tanaka homogenisation scheme is employed for the composite along with an exterior point Eshelby ...

Tensile response of textile reinforced concrete incorporating synthetic fibres
Structural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 6203-6228, October 2025.Abstract Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a composite material where a textile fabric (typically in carbon) is embedded within a cementitious matrix. This material has emerged as a promising alternative to conventional reinforced concrete, allowing for the construction of light and durable structures with a limited impact in terms of CO2‐eq ...
