Article Abstract
Steel fiber reinforced high-strength concrete (SFRHSC) is a composite material composed of cement, coarse aggregate, and randomly distributed short steel fibers. The excellent tensile strength of steel fiber can significantly improve the crack resistance and ductility of high-strength concrete (HSC). In this study, experimental and numerical investigations were performed to study the cyclic behavior of the HSC beam-column joint. Three SFRHSC and one HSC beam-column joint were prepared and tested under cyclic load. Two different volume ratios of steel fibers and three stirrups ratios in the joint core area were experimentally studied. After verification of the experimental results, numerical simulations were further carried out to investigate the influence of steel fibers volume ratio and stirrups ratio in the joint core area on the seismic performance. Evaluation of the hysteretic response, ductility, energy dissipation, stiffness, and strength degradation were the main aims of this study. Results indicate that the optimal volume fraction of steel fibers is 1.5%, and the optimal stirrups ratio in the joint core area is 0.9% in terms of the enhancement of the seismic performance of the SFRHSC beam-column joint.

This study investigates the performance of Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) for detecting gas pipeline leaks under controlled experimental conditions, using multiple fiber cable types deployed both internally and externally. A 21 m steel pipeline with a 1 m test section was configured to simulate leakage scenarios with varying leak sizes (¼", ½", ¾", and 1"), orientations (top, side, bottom), and flow velocities (2-18 m/s). Experiments were conducted under two installation conditions: a supported pipeline mounted on tripods, and a buried pipeline laid on the ground and covered with sand.

Drilling-induced damage in fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials was measured excavating four laminates, basalt (B), glass (G) and their two sandwich type hybrids (BGB, GBG), with 6 mm twist drills at 1520 revolutions per minute and 0.10 mm rev under dry running with an uncoated high-speed steel (HSS-R), grind-coated high-speed steel (HSS-G) or physical vapor deposition-coated (high-speed steel coated with Titanium Nitride (TiN) and Titanium Aluminum Nitride (TiAlN)) drill bits. The hybrid sheets were deliberately incorporated to clarify how alternating basalt-glass architectures redistribute interlaminar stresses during drilling, while the hard, low-friction TiN and TiAlN ceramic coatings enhance cutting performance by forming a heat-resistant tribological barrier that lowers tool-workpiece adhesion, reduces interface temperature, and thereby suppresses thrust-induced delamination.

A friction composite material which contains cellulose fiber, carbon fiber, wollastonite, graphite, and resin for use in oil-cooled friction units, hydromechanical boxes, and couplings was developed. The fabrication technique includes the formation of a paper layer based on the mixture of stated fibers via a wet-laid process, impregnation of the layer with phenolic resin, and hot pressing onto a steel carrier. The infrared spectra of the polymeric base (phenolic resin) were studied by solvent extraction.

GFRP bars can be used partially or fully instead of steel bars in RC-beams to eliminate corrosion problems, especially in harsh environments. Also, the implementation of the combined use of engineered cementitious composite (ECC) and the hybrid (steel-GFRP) reinforcement in concrete beams can enhance strength and serviceability. In this paper, seven beams; one as a control beam cast with traditional concrete, and six partial ECC RC-beams with GFRP bars only or RC-hybrid (steel-GFRP) bars were designed to investigate both deflection and ductility behaviour of such beam type.

The accurate prediction of compressive strength (CS) in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) remains a critical challenge due to the material's inherent complexity and the nonlinear interactions among its constituents. This study presents a robust machine learning framework to predict the CS of SFRC using a large-scale experimental dataset comprising 600 data points, encompassing key parameters such as fiber characteristics (type, content, length, diameter), water-to-cement (w/c) ratio, aggregate size, curing time, silica fume, and superplasticizer. Six advanced regression-based algorithms, including support vector regression (SVR), Gaussian process regression (GPR), random forest regression (RFR), extreme gradient boosting regression (XGBR), artificial neural networks (ANN), and K-nearest neighbors (KNN), were benchmarked through rigorous model validation processes including hold-out testing, K-fold cross-validation, sensitivity analysis, and external validation with unseen experimental data.
