Effect of mineral admixtures and steel fiber volume contents on the behavior of high performance fiber reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study on six different sets of HPFRC specimens was carried out and the behavior in compression, flexural tension and shrinkage properties were evaluated and critically analyzed in order to give a guide for structural use.

Prediction of modulus of elasticity based on micromechanics theory and application to low-strength mortars
François Duplan,Ariane Abou-Chakra,Anaclet Turatsinze,Gilles Escadeillas,Stéphane Brûlé,Frederic Masse +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a micro-mechanical modeling approach for multiphase materials made of various inclusions and a matrix is presented, and the effective properties of the composite are obtained thanks to a loop-type computation of the analytical models described in this article.

About the self-sensing behavior of smart concrete and its interaction with the carbon fiber percolation status, sand connectivity status and grain size distribution
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors provided a better understanding of the self-sensing behavior of smart concrete function of the connectivity of carbon fibers, sand particles structure and its grain size distribution.

François Duplan,Ariane Abou-Chakra,Anaclet Turatsinze,Gilles Escadeillas,Stéphane Brûlé,Emmanuel Javelaud,Frederic Masse +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared experimental measurements and predictive formulas for the engineering properties (compressive and tensile strengths, modulus of elasticity) of concrete and showed that the addition of specific aggregates with low stiffness and strength modifies the relation between those engineering properties.
