Size effects in unreinforced and lightly reinforced concrete beams failing in flexure (2021)
Journal Article
Augusthus Nelson, L., Lees, J., & Weekes, L. (2022). Size effects in unreinforced and lightly reinforced concrete beams failing in flexure. Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 259, 107987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2021.107987

Fracture-based models commonly use a characteristic length as the basis for determining size effects in concrete beams. The characteristic length is related to the concrete fracture process zone and defined in terms of the concrete fracture propert...

The effect of metakaolin and hybrid polymers on the microstructure of concrete (2021)
Journal Article
concrete. Periodicals of engineering and natural sciences, 9(1), 162-173

It has been established that metakaolin (MK) can be applied as a supplementary cementitious material and that some polymers can enhance substantial properties of concrete. Previous studies showed that, when used in combination, MK and polymers can... Read More about The effect of metakaolin and hybrid polymers on the microstructure of concrete.
