    • Behavior of RC beams retrofitted with CARDIFRC after thermal cycling 

      Farhat, Farhat A.; Nicolaides, Demetris; Kanellopoulos, Antonios; Karihaloo, Bhushan Lal (2010-01)
      This study investigates the effect of thermal cycling on the performance of concrete beams retrofitted with CARDIFRC, a new class of high performance fiber-reinforced cement-based material that is compatible with concrete. ...

    • Development of a new Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRCC) for impact and blast protection of structures 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Kanellopoulos, Antonis; Petrou, Michael A; Savva, Pericles; Mina, Anna (2015-07-30)
      Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRCCs) represent a class of cement composites which have superior characteristics in terms of material properties. Their mechanical and fracture behaviour ...

    • Development of uhpfrcc with the use of materials a vailable in Cyprus 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Kanellopoulos, Antonis; Michael, Antonis; Christou, Petros (Czech Concrete Society, 2011)
      The aim of the specific study is to present the results of an extended work on the development of an UHPFRCC with the use of materials available in Cyprus. The fundamental idea for the development of this high performance ...

    • Experimental field investigation of impact and blast load resistance of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRCCs) 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Kanellopoulos, Antonis; Savva, Pericles; Petrou, Michael A (2015-10-01)
      Abstract Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites (UHPFRCCs) represent a class of cement composites which have superior characteristics in terms of material properties. These materials have, however, ...

    • Green concrete - Recycling construction waste 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Kanellopoulos, Antonios; Petrou, Michael A (Czech Concrete Society, 2011)
      Within the European Union, the construction and demolition wastes come to at least 180 million tons per year. Roughly 75% of the waste is disposed to landfill, despite its major recycling potential. The bulk constituents ...

    • Static response and modelling of impact resistance of UHPFRCC slab specimens 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Lampropoulos, Andreas; Kanellopoulos, Antonios; Savva, Pericles; Mina, Anna; Petrou, Michael F. (lsraeli Association of Construction and lnfrastructure Engineers (IACIE) and Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Technion - lsrael lnstitute of Technology, 2013)
      The demand for improved properties of the construction materials increase with time and the related design and construction codes are adapted in an analogous manner. UHPFRCCs represent a class of cement composites which ...

    • Static response of UHPFRCC slab specimens 

      Nicolaides, Demetris; Savva, Pericles; Kanellopoulos, Antonios; Petrou, Michael F. (2012)
      The aim of this study is to present the results of an extended work on the development of an Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (UHPFRC) and the experimental determination of the mechanical ...
