Effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the strength development of cementitious materials (2019, background): “The interfacial bond between the hydration product and MWCNTs depends on the surface energies of MWCNTs and hydrated product, while surface energies of CNTs ranged from 27 to 45 mj/m2 [37].”
Proportioning and characterization of lightweight concrete mixtures made with rigid polyurethane foam wastes (2008, unknown): “Lots of studies can be found on the mechanical properties of lightweight concrete mixtures made of polystyrene aggregates [18–20], wood shavings [21], expanded clay aggregates [9,22], etc. Contrary to usual concrete, lightweight concrete typically fails with a rupture inside the lightweight…”
Initiation and propagation of complex 3D networks of cracks in heterogeneous quasi-brittle materials: Direct comparison between in situ testing-microCT experiments and phase field simulations (2016, unknown): “The fracture phenomena of this typical material at macro scale have mainly been studied under compression by Miled et al. (2004, 2007).”
A phase field method to simulate crack nucleation and propagation in strongly heterogeneous materials from direct imaging of their microstructure (2015, unknown): “The studied material is an EPS lightweight concrete [42], made from quartz sand and EPS beads embedded in a cement matrix.”
