Abstract:
Purpose. The authors aim to determine the features of the operation of a steel-reinforced concrete span structure with beams reinforced with an I-beam, with their pre-stressing using the bending of a steel I-beam. Methodology. To manufacture a steel-reinforced concrete span structure, it was proposed to reinforce an I-beam with a camber, which is then leveled with the help of applied external loads. For practical convenience, the vertical external forces are replaced by horizontal forces that keep the metal I-beam in a deformed state and in this state it is concreted. After the concrete strength development, the external forces are removed and the metal I-beam creates the pre-stressing of the concrete. Findings. When determining stresses, checking calculations by analytical method and the method of modeling with the help of the ANSYS program were used. The stress diagrams along the lower and upper fibers of a metal I-beam and stresses in concrete in the upper and lower zones of the beam were constructed. The analysis of the results showed that the pre-bending of a metal beam can be used to create a pre-stressing, which improves the performance of steel-reinforced concrete span structures, increases their rigidity and allows using of such a structure to increase the balks of railway and highway bridges. Originality. In the paper, a study of the stress-strain state of steel-reinforced concrete beams of the railway span structure was carried out, taking into account the pre-stressing of the concrete. A method of manufacturing a steel-reinforced concrete beams is proposed, which provides pre-stressing of the reinforced concrete due to the bending of a steel I-beam. Practical value. As a result of the calculations, it was found that the structure, when manufactured by the specified method, has greater rigidity compared to reinforced concrete or metal beams. The height of the beam can be lower compared to reinforced concrete or metal span structures. These circumstances are essential for railway bridges, especially for high-speed traffic ones.

Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to study the durability of concrete reinforced with hemp fibers in the face of external Sulfatic attack. For this purpose, five types of concrete were formulated; three types of concrete reinforced with hemp fibers (HC-0.25, HC-0.5, and HC-1) at 0.25%, 0.5%, and 1 % of hemp fibers in volume, respectively. And two control concretes, being ordinary concrete (OC) and polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (PC). To assess the sulfatic attacks, the described concrete types underwent two aging protocols: 1) a complete immersion in 12.5 % Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4) solution, and 2) an accelerated aging protocol consisting of immersion/drying in the same sulfate solution at a temperature of 60°C. The results show that concrete reinforced with 0.25 % of hemp fibers is the optimal amount compared to control concretes in terms of physico-mechanical performance and durability under sulfate attack. This number of fibers could enable the production of green and durable structural concretes based on untreated hemp fibers.

Abstract:
In order to study the influences of the contents of short fiber on the mechanical properties of concrete matrix, the properties of compressive, flexure and splitting of concrete matrix reinforced by alkali resistant glass fiber and calcium carbonate whisker were tested. To study the reinforced effect of different scale fibers on the flexure behavior of fine concrete sheets, the flexural tests of concrete sheet of fine concrete reinforced with basalt fiber mesh and short fiber composites were carried out. The results show that the properties of the compressive, flexure and splitting of fine concrete reinforced with appropriate amount of alkali resistant glass fiber and carbonate whisker are improved compared with that of concrete reinforced by one type of fiber. The flexure properties of the concrete sheets are improved obviously when continuous fiber textile and short fiber composite are adopted to reinforce.

Abstract:
Different kinds of fiber are used to reinforce the concrete to improve the concrete mechanical properties. The high modulus and high flexibility fibers are often used to reinforce in the cement base, which leads to the higher performance compound cement based materials. In the paper, the carbon fiber and glass fiber material are used as flexibility reinforced materials. The polypropylene fiber and the polyethylene fiber are used as strength reinforced materials. The combinations of the flexibility reinforced fiber and strength reinforced fiber are chosen as C-P HF (Carbon and Polypropylene Hybrid Fiber) and G-Pe HF (Glass and Polyethylene Hybrid Fiber). The concrete mixture ratio and the fiber-reinforced amount are determined to the author’s previous study. The relationship between compressive strength, flexural strength and length/diameter aspect ratio of fiber for the carbon and polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (C-P HFRC), and for the glass and polyethylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (G--Pe HFRC) was tested and discussed. The testing results show that length/diameter aspect ratio of fiber obviously affects the flexural strength of C-P HFRC and G-Pe HFRC, though the compressive strength is slightly affected by the length-diameter aspect ratio.

Abstract:
This research investigated the effects of direct tensile response on the flexural resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes by performing sectional analysis. The correlations between direct tensile and flexural response of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes were investigated in detail for the development of a design code of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete flexural members as follows: (1) the tensile resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes right after first-cracking in tension should be higher than one-third of the first-cracking strength to obtain the deflection-hardening if the ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes show tensile strain-softening response; (2) the equivalent bottom strain of flexural member at the modulus of rupture is always higher than the strain capacity of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes in tension; (3) the softening part in the direct tensile response of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concretes significantly affects their flexural resistance; and (4) the moment resistance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete girders is more significantly influenced by the post-cracking tensile strength rather than the tensile strain capacity. Moreover, the size and geometry effects should be carefully considered in predicting the moment capacity of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete beams.

Objective. Development of compositions of fire-retardant vermiculite-concrete composites for reinforced cement structures. Investigation of the properties of fire-retardant vermiculite-concrete composite and fine-grained concrete for two-layer reinforced cement structures.Method. Methods for increasing the fire resistance of reinforced concrete structures are considered. Research is focused on the development of fire-retardant composites using expanded vermiculite and volcanic ash. To improve the physical and mechanical properties of the fire-retardant composite, a mixture of Portland cement, gypsum, lime, basalt fiber, saponified wood resin, volcanic ash and expanded vermiculite has been developed. For the study of vermiculite concretes reinforced with basalt fiber, a second-order rotatable plan of the regular hexagon type was used.Result. Fiber-vermiculite concretes are proposed, which have improved fire-retardant properties compared to known compositions. This is due to the better preservation of the fiber-vermiculite-concrete layer when heated as a result of fiber reinforcement. Also, thanks to the addition of SDO, the fire-retardant properties of the composite increase due to the additional porosity of the fiber-vermiculite-concrete. The parameters of the "stress-strain" diagram of a vermiculite-concrete composite and fine-grained concrete have been obtained.Conclusion. Vermiculite concretes with an average density of 480-560 kg/m3 have the best fire-retardant properties. The developed two-layer reinforced cement structures have high fire resistance.

Abstract:
During the reconstruction, or upon expiration of the service life, as well as after external impact, reinforced concrete structures require examination and verification calculations. Existing diagrams of concrete deformation are focused on designing new structures and are not adapted to the concretes of the reconstructed structures. Using the world experience in describing alloy deformation, the concrete deformation model based on using the Arrhenius equation is proposed in this article. A technique for creating an individual deformations model during the reconstruction is demonstrated on a specific example. The physical meaning of the coefficients used in the proposed model is illustrated. Examples confirming the adequacy of the proposed concrete deformations model during the reconstruction are given.

Abstract:
Recent advancements in the fields of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) have resulted in the development of new materials with great potential for applications in civil engineering structures, and due to extensive research over recent years, FRPs are now being considered for the design of new structures. This study describes how carbon fiber reinforced polymer jackets can be used to reinforce circular concrete columns. Fibers aligned in the circumferential direction provide axial and shear strength to the concrete, while fibers aligned in the longitudinal direction provide flexural reinforcement. Prefabricated FRP jackets or tubes would also provide the formwork for the columns, resulting in a decrease in labor and materials required for construction. Also, the enhanced behavior of FRP jacketed concrete columns could allow the use of smaller sections than would be required for conventionally reinforced concrete columns. Furthermore, FRP jacket reinforced concrete columns would be more durable than conventionally reinforced concrete columns and therefore would require less maintenance and have longer service life.Key words: bridge, carbon, column, concrete, confinement, fiber reinforced polymer, jacket, retrofitting, seismic, strengthening.

Abstract:
When constructing tunnels in mountainous areas, the drilling and blasting method is the most commonly used because of its economy. Ordinary reinforced concrete itself has defects such as poor crack resistance and brittleness. Therefore, when using the drilling and blasting method for ordinary reinforced concrete double-line tunnels, vibration phenomena will occur and cause cracks in the first-line tunnels, which will have adverse effects on the durability and safety of the tunnel. As a response, scholars have proposed the use of steel fiber-reinforced concrete as tunnel lining. In this paper, the LS-DYNA software is used to establish three models of plain concrete, ordinary concrete, and steel fiber-reinforced concrete, and numerical analysis is conducted with different amounts of explosives. The results show that the steel fiber-reinforced concrete tunnel lining has better performance than the other two concretes in tunnel construction.

Abstract:
In this research study, the possibility of deployment of steel spring utilization to reinforce a concrete beam is investigated and compared with steel bars; this is done to enhance the flexural strength of the structural concrete beam. For this purpose, three specimens are prepared: a plain concrete beam, a reinforced concrete beam, and a spring-reinforced concrete beam. A point bending test is dedicated to calculating the failure strength of each specimen. ABAQUS program is being used to simulate the three test specimens with the same properties as the experimental test samples to verify the results. The results of the numerical simulations for the flexural stress and the plastic strain of each model are collected and compared with the experimental tests. The results manifested a particularly good verification for the experimental tests, and the spring-reinforced concrete beam displayed an excellent flexural strength that exceeded the flexural strength of the reinforced concrete beam. This indicates that the spring-reinforced concrete beam, according to the properties of the spring, is a promising endeavor for use in the construction industry.

Abstract:
In the recent decades, blasts and gas explosions at the off-site of oil and gas plants have increased leading to destruction of important concrete structures, essential equipment and loss of human life. In response, structural engineers have come up with different ways of reinforcing beams of concrete structures using fiber reinforced polymers composite materials to produce blast resistant structures to minimize the impact of the blast loads, due to their unique and individual characteristics like high flexural and shear strength. This paper seeks to research the dynamic behavior, response and performance of reinforce concrete beams strengthened with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites when subjected to blast loading. The study aims at proposing a design model of strengthening reinforce concrete beams with Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer in supporting concrete structures at off-site oil and gas plants against hydrocarbon explosions. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer composites exhibit higher modulus of elasticity, higher energy absorption capacity, resistant to all forms of alkali and higher tensile strength compared to all other fiber reinforced polymers reinforcements and therefore the need to assess its capacity in protecting concrete structures at oil and gas plants against dynamic loads. The research will be carried out through numerical analysis using the finite element analysis computer program, ANSYS.

Abstract:
Relevance. During the operation process (first of all, long-term operation) of hydraulic structures, it becomes necessary to strengthen their reinforced concrete structures. In recent years, reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures has been used in industrial and civil construction by external reinforcement systems made of composite materials (for example, carbon materials). In this case, in hydraulic engineering construction there are only isolated examples of such amplification. Aims of research. Experimental studies of reinforced concrete structures of hydraulic structures strengthened with external reinforcement from carbon materials presented in the article were carried out in order to substantiate the use of external reinforcement based on carbon materials (tapes and lamellae) to reinforce reinforced concrete structures of hydraulic structures. Methods. In order to carry out an experimental study of the strengthening of hydraulic structures with external reinforcement, reinforced concrete models of hydraulic structures of a beam type were made of carbon materials. At the same time, reinforced concrete structures with characteristic features of hydraulic structures, such as low concrete classes and reinforcement percentages (less than 1%), were adopted for modeling. Reinforced concrete models were strengthened with carbon ribbons and lamellae. Experimental studies were carried out under the action of a bending moment using standard methods. The increase in the strength of reinforced concrete structures due to their reinforcement with carbon ribbons and lamellae was determined. Results. The results of experimental studies of the strength of reinforced concrete structures of hydraulic structures without reinforcement and reinforced with carbon ribbons and lamellae under the action of a bending moment are presented. On the basis of the comparison carried out, the increase in the strength of reinforced concrete structures is determined by their reinforcement with carbon ribbons and lamellae.

Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced polymer tube–confined steel fiber–reinforced concrete column is a novel composite column proposed recently, which consists of a traditional steel-reinforced concrete column and an external glass fiber–reinforced plastic tube for lateral confinement. In order to investigate the axial compression behavior of steel fiber–reinforced concrete columns, a total of 16 square specimens were fabricated and tested under axial monotonic and cyclic compressive loading. Three different configurations of inner shaped steels, including cross-shaped, box-shaped with wielding, and box-shaped without wielding were considered. Two thicknesses of glass fiber–reinforced concrete tubes were also considered as the main experimental parameters. On the basis of test results, a thorough analysis of the failure process based on strain analysis was discussed. The test results showed that steel fiber–reinforced concrete columns exhibited higher ductility and load capacity compared with fiber-reinforced plastic–confined plain concrete columns. Two quantitative indexes were proposed to measure the confinement of steel fiber–reinforced concretes. The axial cyclic mechanical behaviors were discussed through comparative analysis with monotonic behaviors. The remnant strains and modulus of the cyclic behaviors were also discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract Numerous problems that can occur during regular building use may necessitate the need for reinforced concrete RC members to be strengthened. An increase in live loads or structural damage is two examples. Various techniques can be used to increase load-carrying capability. Concrete reinforcement with textile-carbon fiber (TCF) is a more recent option. For almost all active forces, this strengthening procedure is appropriate. For bending, shear, torsion, or axial forces, strengthening is an option. The experimental work for this study examined the impact of textile carbon mesh in reinforced concrete with various numbers of layers and sikadure-330 as the bonding material with different damage ratio (0%, 45%, 55% and 70%). As well as the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with TCF, by casting and testing 13 beams under the monotonic load, one of them represented the control beam, they designed according to ACI 318-14 to ensure flexural failure. From the results obtained in this study it was shown that the flexural capacity of all strengthened beams increased as a consequence of TCF strengthening. Therefore, TCF jacketing is a very promising technique for increasing reinforced concrete flexural capability, which is necessary for retrofitting and strengthening.

Two different fiber volume fractions of 0.5 and 1.0% were used for AAS concrete and Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concretes were also mixed for comparison. Test results indicated that compressive and flexural performance of AAS concretes with water-to-binder (W/B) ratio of 0.55 are equivalent to those of OPC concrete. The addition of steel fiber to AAS concrete improves more compressive and flexural performance than those of steel fiber reinforced concrete.

Abstract:
After the long-term use of reinforced concrete structures, there may be structural aging and structural damage, these common engineering problems. As a result, the performance is reduced, so it is necessary to strengthen to meet the corresponding safety requirements. Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) has the advantages of lightweight, strong, high tensile strength and tensile degree. Therefore, CFRP is widely used in reinforcement. Based on CFRP reinforcement of reinforced concrete beams, this paper analyzes its reinforcement methods. The paper mainly analyzes the influence of different pasting methods of CFRP on the performance of beams and the influence of material pasting thickness on beams. Through the analysis and research, it can be concluded that CFRP has certain advantages compared with traditional reinforcement materials. Therefore, it can be used to reinforce reinforced concrete beams. This study can provide some reference value for some related projects of reinforced concrete beams reinforced by CFRP.

Abstract:
The results of the studies on the creation of self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete based on run-of-crusher stone with the use of a polyfunctional additive D-5 are presented. Compositions of self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete with the use of basalt fiber have been developed, which significantly reduce cement consumption and improve the characteristics of fine-grained concrete mixture and concrete. Using a polyfunctional additive D-5in mixtures makes it possible to increase the strength properties of fine-grained fiber-reinforced concrete while improving the concrete mixtures’ rheological characteristics. Replacement of cement up to 10% of the mass by ash fraction d<0.14 min fine-grained concrete mixtures does not cause a noticeable decrease in the concrete strength properties. The developed self-compacting fine-grained fiber-reinforced concretes have increased strength properties and have a low-cost price due to the use of local raw materials and run-of-crusher stone.

Abstract:
Self-compacting concrete presents good workability to fill complicated forms without mechanical vibrations. This concrete is often reinforced with fibres to improve the strength and toughness. This study investigated the use of nickel -titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy fibres in comparison with polypropylene and steel fibres in self-compacting concrete. The performances of the fresh fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete are explored by slump flow and J-ring experiments. Meanwhile, the static and cyclic flexural tests are conducted to estimate the bending resistance strength performance, residual deformation and recovering capacity of shape memory alloy, polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete. Moreover, the flexural toughness of the shape memory alloy, polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete is calculated using four different codes. The shape memory alloy fibre–reinforced self-compacting concrete with 0.75% volume fraction presents the largest flexural strength, re-centering ability and toughness in comparison with polypropylene and steel fibre–reinforced self-compacting concretes. The experimental results demonstrated the beneficial influence of the shape memory and superelastic properties of NiTi in postponing initial crack formation and restricting the crack widths.

Abstract:
In China, there are many reinforced concrete frame buildings that have reached the end of their design life, or have not been designed with seismic requirements in mind and need to be reinforced. In this paper, a reinforced concrete frame structure which needs to be reinforced is taken as an example. Two common reinforcement methods are used to reinforce the reinforced concrete frame structure by adding shear wall and increasing column section. BIM-GSSAP software is used to analyze maximum inter-storey drift angle and the member response under frequent earthquakes, and the whole structure of the weak layer under rare earthquakes is checked. The results show that both methods can significantly improve the seismic performance of buildings. At the same time, combined with the project example, the advantages and disadvantages of the construction process are analyzed, which can provide a useful case reference for this kind of reinforced concrete frame structure projects.

Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced concretes are varieties of composite materials. Such materials are commonly used nowadays. Concrete is fiber-reinforced using various fibrous materials, or fibers, which are evenly distributed over the volume of the concrete matrix and simultaneously provide its 3D reinforcement. Fiber-reinforced concrete has better stress-related strength characteristics than ordinary concrete. Since building structures must meet both the strength, rigidity and stability requirements, and the fire safety requirements, then for the extensive use of fiber-reinforced concrete structures, not only the external load design, but also temperature effect design should be conducted in the design phase. The strength and strain characteristics of fiber concrete exposed to high temperatures must be known for this purpose. In view of this, three series of prisms were manufactured and tested: the first series contained no fiber at all (control prisms), the second series contained basalt fiber, and the third series contained steel fiber. The test results showed that adding fibers improves the mechanical characteristics of fiber-reinforced concrete samples under specified conditions.

Abstract:
Concrete beams reinforced with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are subjected to considerable thermal stress at low temperatures. To mitigate this problem, this study conducts a series of tests on three concrete specimens at various temperatures, analyzes the change rule of thermal stress in CFRP-reinforced concrete beams, and discusses the influence of CFRPs on thermal stress in terms of the elastic modulus, thickness, thermal expansion coefficient, beam height, and concrete grade. The results show that when the temperature decreases, CFRP has an obvious restraining effect on the thermal curve of concrete beams. The thermal stress on the interface of CFRP-reinforced concrete beams is sufficiently large and should not be ignored. In particular, in cold areas, thermal stress should be taken into account when reinforcing structures such as concrete bridges. The CFRP sheet’s elasticity modulus and thickness are the main factors affecting the thermal stress; in comparison, the expansion coefficient and beam height have lesser effect on the thermal stress; finally, the concrete grade has little effect on the thermal stress. Thermal stress can be prevented feasibly by using prestressed CFRP sheets to reinforce concrete beams. This study can serve as a reference for concrete reinforcement design.

Abstract:
Nowadays, using fibrous materials is used widely in strengthening applications such as cross-section enlargement and using functionally graded reinforced concrete. Functionally graded reinforced concrete is used as multireinforced concrete layers that can be reinforced by different fiber types. The objective of this research was to address the structural benefits of functionally graded concrete materials by performing analytical simulations. In order to achieve this purpose, in the first stage of this study, three functionally graded reinforced concretes by steel and polypropylene (PP) were experimentally tested under flexural loading. Inverse analysis was applied to obtain the used material properties of reinforced concrete by FEMIX software. After obtaining the material properties, to assess the performance of proposed slabs, some other cases were proposed and numerically evaluated under flexural and shear loading. The results showed that increasing steel fiber in reinforced entire cross section led to achieve better shear and flexural performance while the best performance of reinforced functionally graded slabs was achieved for slab at 1% fiber content. In the second stage, nineteen reinforced functionally graded RC slabs with steel bars were simulated and assessed and some other cases were considered which were not experimentally tested.

The joint section between steel and concrete box girders is the key localization of the super-long span hybrid girder cable-stayed bridge in the Edong Yangtze River, a high strength self-compacting concrete (SCC) was required to use in the joint section. This paper systematically investigated the performances of three types of C55 grade self-compacting concretes (SCCs), such as plain SCC, micro-expansion and polypropylene fiber reinforced SCC and steel fiber reinforced SCC. The results indicated that the steel fiber reinforced SCC had the best workability and mechanical properties. The flexural toughness of the steel fiber reinforced SCC was much better than that of the other two types of concretes. The addition of steel fiber, or polypropylene fiber and expansive agent improved the crack resistance of SCC, and the micro-expansion and polypropylene fiber SCC reinforced had better crack resistance than steel fiber reinforced SCC. The three types of SCCs have very high chloride penetration resistance and advanced freezing and thawing resistance. Moreover, the test achievement of concrete casting technology for the full-scale model of steel girder chambers in the joint section is introduced. The steel fiber reinforced SCC was preferred to be used in the steel-concrete joint section.

Abstract:
The development and production of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete have been carried out on a large scale recently, driven by the efficiency of using basalt fibers as a micro-reinforcing additive in cement-based concretes. For the successful application of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete in monolithic construction, there must be an accessible and efficient technology for commonly used concrete compositions. This paper presents the results of an analysis of foreign literature sources, which conclude that new experimental research is needed to improve the compositions and technology of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete using local construction materials. The article provides the results of such research and recommendations for an efficient basalt fiber-reinforced concrete technology.The conducted research has shown that introducing basalt fiber into the composition of heavy concrete according to the proposed technology contributes to a 15% increase in compressive strength compared to similar concrete without micro-reinforcement. Additionally, it is possible to save up to 10% or more on cement consumption.

Abstract:
In the study, mechanical properties and durability performance of confined/unconfined geopolymer concrete and ordinary concrete specimens were investigated under ambient and seawater environments. Some of the specimens were confined by carbon fiber and basalt fiber–reinforced polymer fabric materials with one layer and three layers under chloride and ambient environments to observe mechanical strength contribution and durability performances of these hybrid types of materials. These fiber-reinforced polymer fabric materials were also evaluated in terms of retrofit purposes especially in the marine structures. In addition, microstructural evaluation is also conducted using scanning electron microscope on geopolymer concrete and ordinary concrete specimens to observe the amount of deterioration in microscale due to the chloride attacks. Results indicated that confined specimens exhibited enhanced strength, ductility, and durability properties than unconfined specimens, and the degree of the enhancement depended on the fiber-reinforced polymer confinement type and the number of fiber-reinforced polymer layer. Specimens confined by carbon fabrics with three layers showed superior mechanical properties and durability performance against chloride attack, while specimens confined by basalt fabrics with one layer exhibited low performance, and unconfined specimens showed the worst performance. Both fiber-reinforced polymer fabric materials can be utilized as retrofit materials in structural elements against chloride attacks. The results also pointed out that seawater attack reduced the ductility performance of the geopolymer concrete and ordinary concrete specimens. Furthermore, geopolymer concrete specimens were found more durable than the ordinary concrete specimens, and both types of concretes exhibited similar fracture properties, indicating that geopolymer concrete can be utilized for structural elements instead of ordinary concretes.

Abstract:
In this study, we conducted an initial investigation of the post-fire mechanical properties of concrete reinforced with Spanish broom fibers. The mechanical properties were determined at room temperature, and the post-fire mechanical properties were determined at elevated temperature, so that the fire resistance of the concrete could be determined. Five mixtures were considered: three with differently treated Spanish broom fibers, a polypropylene fiber mixture, and a reference concrete mixture. The concrete and reinforced concrete samples were first dried to 100 °C, then heated to 400 °C, and left to cool to room temperature. The samples were tested immediately and 96 h after cooling. The compressive strength, weight loss, ultrasonic pulse velocity, and dynamic modulus of elasticity were determined and compared. The cross-sectional images of the concrete samples captured through an optical microscope were observed and analyzed. The changes in fiber structure were monitored by TG/DTG analysis. The results of the study indicate that even the reference concrete mixture did not have satisfactory residual properties. The reinforced concretes did not improve the residual properties of the reference concrete, but reduced the spalling and explosive failure performance under a compressive load. The concrete reinforced with Spanish broom fibers showed improved residual properties compared with concrete reinforced with polypropylene fibers.

Abstract:
In construction practice, reinforced concrete structures are designed to meet the requirements of not only the load-bearing capacity but also the abilities of sound insulation, heat insulation, fire resistance, etc. A promising and effective solution to meet these requirements is using multi-layer reinforced concrete structures with an internal layer by low thermal conductivity concrete, and external layers by traditional concrete, high-strength concrete, or kezamzit concrete. The different physical-mechanical properties of the material layers affect the structure's performance under load. In this study, the authors have introduced a theoretical method to calculate and analyze the stress-strain states of flexural reinforced concrete structures with cross-sectional sections consisting of layers from different concrete materials under the effect of load. The study's results have shown that in the manufacturing process of multi-layer reinforced concrete structures by different concretes, a contact zone is formed between layers because of aggregate components from different types of concrete. Calculated results by using the proposed model have shown that the values of the moment and deflection of the beam when cracks begin to appear and when the beam is damaged, are closer to the experimental results than by using the previous models. The research results are useful references for the calculation of multi-layer reinforced concrete structures with a middle layer from lightweight concrete.

Abstract:
For use in fire resistance calculations, the relevant thermal and mechanical properties of steel-fibre-reinforced concrete at elevated temperatures were determined. These properties included the thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal expansion, and mass loss, as well as the strength and deformation properties of steel-fibre-reinforced siliceous and carbonate aggregate concretes. The thermal properties are presented in equations that express the values of these properties as a function of temperature in the temperature range between 0 °C and 1000 °C. The mechanical properties are given in the form of stress–strain relationships for the concretes at elevated temperatures. The results indicate that the steel fibres have little influence on the thermal properties of the concretes. The influence on the mechanical properties, however, is relatively greater than the influence on the thermal properties and is expected to be beneficial to the fire resistance of structural elements constructed of fibre-reinforced concrete.

Use of mangrove timber beams for supporting floor slabs in historic buildings in Zanzibar Stone Town is still applied although the available structural data on mangrove timber is inadequate. This concern has called for an investigation on the structural properties of mangrove timber, so that the information obtained could help to establish the structural strength of the existing floor slabs in historic buildings. Hence, mangrove timber specimens were sampled from Zanzibar, and tested in the laboratory for their strengths in tension, compression and shear. The test results showed that mangrove is a hardwood timber of strength class D70, the highest rank of timber classification. Also, concrete beam specimens reinforced with mangrove timber rods, and others reinforced with structural steel were studied. The obtained test results showed that beams reinforced with mangrove timber rods with enlarged ends performed better than those reinforced with uniform mangrove rods. The strength of the beams reinforced with mangrove timber was found to be 50% of the beams reinforced with steel bars, implying that mangrove timber can be used to reinforce concrete beams.
