Flexural Behaviour of Concrete Beams with High Strength Reinforcement
… design to 500 MPa. This thesis investigates the flexural behavior of concrete beams reinforced with HSR to assess whether current code provisions are appropriate. Curvature ductility ratios are calculated for cross-sections with varying concrete compressive strengths, and reinforcement types and …

Flexural Mechanics of Creased Thin Metallic Strips
… were formed. This dissertation investigates the flexural behaviour of a creased thin metallic strip and the influence of the crease geometry. When a strip is bent perpendicular to the crease, putting the crease region in tension and the strip edges in compression, initially torsional deformations …

Fibre Modification for Concrete Reinforcement using a Novel Atmospheric Microwave Induced Plasma Torch (MIPT)
… the effect of the plasma treatment on the flexural behaviour of cementitious composites was investigated using three-point bending. The results show some improvement in the fibre surface properties, so there is a potential of using the developed plasma system in the production of …
