Fire Spalling Prevention via Polypropylene Fibres: A Meso- and Macroscale Approach
A deep understanding of concrete at the mesoscale level is essential for a better comprehension of several concrete phenomena, such as creep, damage, and spalling. The latter one specifically corresponds to the separation of pieces of concrete from the surface of a structural element when it is expo...
