Stability, flexural behavior and compressive strength of ultra-lightweight fiber-reinforced foamed concrete with dry density lower than 100 kg/m3

Devid Falliano et al.

Summary: The study findings suggest that the addition of polypropylene microfibers can enhance the stability and mechanical performance of ultra-lightweight foamed concrete, resulting in higher flexural strength and compressive strength. Additionally, the use of a surfactant with higher foaming properties can improve the pore characteristics of the concrete, leading to improved workability and compressive strength.

Dynamic Properties of Silt-Based Foamed Concrete as Filler in Subgrade

Jianqing Wu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the dynamic response of silt-based foamed concrete as a filler in subgrade by conducting staged cyclic loading experiments. The results show that wet density and silt content have significant influence on the dynamic properties of the concrete. The dynamic stress-cumulative strain curves are derived based on the Ramberg-Osgood equation, and the damage evolution is found to be affected by density and silt content.

Mechanical and Physical Properties of Silt-Based Foamed Concrete with Different Silt Types

Hongbo Zhang et al.

Summary: This research investigates the mechanical and physical properties of silt-based foamed concretes. The results show that the compressive strength, flexural strength, and elastic modulus of the samples increase with density, but decrease with silt content and plastic index. The addition of silt can reduce the cost and pollution of cement. The study also finds that the pore structure, drying shrinkage, and water absorption are affected by silt content and plastic index.

Porosity, gradient and impact velocity effects on compressive response of foamed concrete

Liangliang Xu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of porosity, gradient, and impact velocity on the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanism of foamed concrete. It found that compressive strength increases with decreasing porosity, and that foamed concretes with similar porosity but different pore sizes and distances exhibit consistent stress-strain curves. Graded foamed concrete generates initial deformation in the region with the highest porosity under an impact velocity of 1 m/s.

Free vibration analysis of variable stiffness composite laminated beams and plates by novel hierarchical differential quadrature finite elements

Yang Yan et al.

Summary: This work investigates the free vibration behavior of variable stiffness composite laminates (VSCLs) using the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF) and weak form differential quadrature finite element method (DQFEM). The novel solutions proposed in the research allow for more robust formulations of Equivalent Single Layer (ESL) and Layer-Wise (LW) models, with accuracy and effectiveness validated through numerical examples and comparison to published data.

A generalized 2D Bezier-based solution for stress analysis of notched epoxy resin plates reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets

Hossein Kabir et al.

Summary: This study extends a robust Bezier-based method to solve the governing fourth order complex partial differential equation in linear elastic fracture mechanics problems and explores the impact of GnP aspect ratio on enhancing material properties. The results suggest that GnPs with maximum aspect ratio are most effective in improving elastic properties of the plate and potentially limiting crack propagation, providing valuable insights for material reinforcement.
