Considering the bond performance, the sand-coated GFRP bar gave the most promising results with the highest bond strength attained. In particular, the bond strength was found increased with the compressive strength and concrete density of PAC. Besides, the bond development length for PAC reinforced with GFRP bars can be predicted satisfactorily using the ACI equation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:25:41 AEDT ]]> Mechanical and fracture properties of normal and high-strength concretes with fly ash after exposure to high temperatures https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15820 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:22:00 AEDT ]]> Comparison of carbonation of lightweight concrete with normal weight concrete at similar strength levels https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15380 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:55 AEDT ]]> The effect of high temperature curing on the strength and carbonation of pozzolanic structural lightweight concretes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15386 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:54 AEDT ]]> Fracture properties of normal and lightweight high-strength concrete https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15385 SIC) and critical crack tip opening displacement (CTODC) for the two-parameter model, and the fracture energy (GF) for the fictitious crack model were examined. A three-point bending test on notched beams was carried out on specimens of varying sizes to examine the size effect on the measured properties and flexural behaviour. The experimental findings indicated that the KSICF values of normal aggregate HSC were more size-sensitive than that of lightweight HSC while the CTODC of both types of HSC seemed to be size-independent. Compared with the normal aggregate HSC, the lightweight HSC had a considerably lower KSIC but had a similar GF and more ductile flexural behaviour.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:18:54 AEDT ]]> Shear strengthening of polystyrene aggregate concrete beams with near surface mounted GFRP bars https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10659 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:42 AEDT ]]> Investigation of permeability of structural lightweight aggregate concrete https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22372 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:09:28 AEDT ]]>
