Structural elements such as beams, slabs, and columns may require strengthening or repair during their service life. Different repair materials (RMs) are available and it is usually difficult to choose the best ones, especially when considering the cost of such materials. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of patch RMs...

Based on computer three-dimensional scanning and stochastic simulation technologies, the three-dimensional random meso-structure models and discrete element models of soil-rock mixture (S-RM) samples with different stone contents and spatial distributions were established. Considering flexible loading of confining pressure, the large-scale numerica...
Layered composites have attracted considerable interest in the recent literature on metal composites. Their mechanical properties depend on the quality of the bonding provided by the intermediate layers. In this study, we analyzed the mechanical properties and bond strengths provided by the nickel layer with respect to its thickness and nature (eit...

As a major class of mechanically interlocked molecules, not only are catenanes topologically intriguing targets that challenge the chemical synthesis to the efficient formation of mechanical bonds, but also the mechanical properties arising from the topology offer unique and attractive features for the development of novel functional molecular mate...
This study was carried out to explore the potential of kenaf bast fibres (KBFs) for production of cement-bonded kenaf composite boards (CBKCBs). More than 70% of the KBFs were of size >3.35 mm and length of 31±0.4 mm, therefore, they were used for CBKCBs production. The CBKCBs with the dimensions of
450 × 450 × 12 mm were produced using cement (C):...
The recycled aggregate prepared from the crushing of old concrete was studied. It was found that the recycled aggregate is covered with loose particles that may prevent good bonding between the new cement matrix and the recycled aggregate. The old cement paste that remained on the natural aggregate was porous and cracked, leading to weak mechanical...

... Various techniques have been developed over the years to treat and repair concrete. The most traditional technique to repair severely damaged concrete involves 'patch-repair,' which consists of the mechanical removal of degraded concrete from a member or structure and the subsequent replacement of such concrete with fresh concrete [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, this method fosters cement production, has limited applicability due to the typical inaccessibility of degraded concrete to treat, and introduces an incipient anode effect in concrete [10,15] that can trigger corrosive processes and require frequent retrofit [10,16]. ...
The rise of affordable and clean electricity is yielding a surge in the research and development of sustainable electrochemical approaches to engineer the properties and behavior of materials. In this context, engineering treatments that harness electrodeposition promise to enhance the properties, behavior, and durability of concrete via mineral crystal precipitations in the pores and cracks of such material. Highly complex and increasingly studied, the effects of electrodeposition in concrete seemingly lack a unified assessment at the time of writing. This review encompasses the effects of electrodeposition on the properties and behavior of concrete to facilitate future studies that can help develop such a promising engineering technique. Specifically, starting from an overview of the fundamentals governing the electrodeposition process, this work revises knowledge on its effects on concrete properties and behavior and discusses open questions whose answers can boost the development and application of this technique.
