Rehabilitation projects aim to enhance durability and to ensure structural safety. Ultra-High Per-formance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) may fulfil these requirements when used as conservation materials. The structural response of composite UHPFRC-c ...
The aims of the preliminary study reported in this document were twofold. Firstly, within the context of the application of UHPFRC for the rehabilitation of reinforced concrete structures, to identify the phenomena that require further study with respect t ...
This test report describes the experimental program that was conducted within the scope of the research project on “Structural behaviour of elements combining Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRC) and reinforced concrete” [Habel04]. Th ...
Advanced Cementitious Materials such as HPFRCC are well adapted for durable repair and strengthening of concrete structures. Experimental and numerical investigations have been conducted to study the behavior of hybrid structural elements consisting of HPF ...
The characterization of the fracture process zone inside a cracked concrete specimen is investigated through optical fiber technology. Fiber Bragg gratings are used to measure the strains in the close vicinity of the crack front, thus enabling us (for the ...
Viscoelasticity and crack growth govern the long-term deformability of concrete and thus its service behaviour and its durability. For low load levels, viscoelasticity behaves quasilinearly and crack growth is inactive. On the other hand, for high load lev ...
