Description
This thesis presents the experimental and analytical
investigation of the fiber (steel, glass and Kevlar), and
latex-modified concrete structural members exposed to
varying periods of marine environment.
The findings indicate superior behavior of fibers in
flexure (toughness) and impact. Fibers affect the compressive
strength only marginally. Kevlar fibers are more
stable in the marine environment compared to steel and
glass. The addition of latex significantly improves the
durability characteristics. Endochronic constitutive
modeling enables realistic prediction of beam flexural
behavior.
The smallness of the size and number of specimens
tested indicates the need for further experimentation with
an increased number of members of larger dimensions.
