This paper is a report about lap splice performance of rebar embedded in the strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCCs) under monotonic and repeated tension loading. Ten mix proportions of cement-based composites such as SHCCs and normal concrete were investigated. The study parameters are comprised of (1) types of reinforcing fibers (polyethylene and steel fiber), (2) replacement levels of expansive admixture (EXA, 0% and 10%), and (3) compressive strength (30 and 100 MPa) of cement-based composites. Lap splice lengths (ld) of rebars in SHCC materials and normal concrete were 60% and 100% of splice length calculated by code requirements for structural concrete, respectively. Test results indicated that SHCCs materials can lead to enhancements in the lap splice performance of embedded rebar. All of the fiber reinforcement conditions (PE-SHCC and PESF-SHCC) considered in this study produced considerable improvements in the tensile strength, cracking behavior, and bond strength of lap-spliced rebar. Furthermore, adding EXA to SHCC matrix improved the tensile lap splice performance of rebar in SHCC materials. However, for controlling crack behavior, the performance of PE-SHCC was better than that of PESF-SHCC due to its mechanical properties. This study demonstrated an effective approach for reducing required development length of lap spliced rebar by using SHCC materials.

Recently, the peptide(or protein)-polymer hybrid materials (PPs) were sought in many research areas as potential building blocks for assembling nanostructures in selective solvents. In PPs, the facile routes of preparing well-defined peptide-polymer bio-conjugates and their specific activities in various applications are important issues. Our strategy to prepare the peptide-polymer hybrid materials was to combine atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method with solid phase peptide synthesis. The standard solid phase peptide synthesis method was employed to prepare the PYGK (proline-tyrosine-glycine-lysine) peptide. PYGK is an analogue peptide, PFGK (proline-phenylalanine-glycine-lysine), which interacted with plasminogen in fibrinolysis. The peptide and the peptide-initiator were characterized with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and $^1H$ NMR spectrometer. The peptide-polymer, pSt-PYGK was characterized by GPC, IR, $^1H$ NMR spectrometer and TLC. Spherical micellar aggregates were determined by TEM and SEM. Current synthesis methodology suggested opportunities to create the well-defined peptide-polymer hybrid materials with specific binding activity.

There is a limit for deforestation in order to keep the environmental cycle undisturbed. The heart of the paper is to replace the wood to a maximum extent to obtain a sustainable environment. This research aims at new natural composites in which treated hemp fiber used as reinforcement, synthetic cellulose used as particulate to improve the adhesion between matrix - fiber interface and Epoxy LY556 acted as matrix fabricated by hand layup technique. The density, water absorption, tensile properties, impact strength, hardness, flexural properties and compressive properties have been evaluated under ASTM standards and compare the results with existing materials such as wood, aluminium, etc., The composite hemp fiber reinforced polymer (HFRP) could be exploited as an effective replacement for wood and it would be suitable for automotive applications by comparing results.

Al 6061 alloy reinforced with 10 vol.% ${\delta}-Al_2O_3$ short fiber was fabricated by Rheo-compocasting and squwwze cating. Extrusion processings were performed at temperatures from 40$0^{\circ}C$ to 55$0^{\circ}C$ with various extrusion ratio for curved shape dies. In proportion to the increase of extrusion ratios and temperatures, ultimate tensile strength for extruded materials improved. SEM observation of fractured surfsce was capcble oof accounting for fracture mechanism and bounding state of fiber and matrix.

This paper describes the need for a ductile of Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) reinforcement for concrete structures. The criteria to be met by the FRP, which are based on the properties of the steel rebar it is to replace, are threefold: high initial modulus, a definite yield point and a high level of ultimate strain. It is shown that the use of a fiber architecture based design methodology facilitates the optimization of the performance of FRP through material and geometric hybrid. Ductile hybrid FRP bars were successfully fabricated at 3mm and 5mm nominal diameters using an in-line braiding and pultrusion process.

Concrete is one of the principal materials for the structure and it is widely used all over the world. but it shows extremely brittle failure under bending and tensile load. Recently to improve such a poor property. High Performance Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Composites (HPFRCC) have been developed. and it are defined by an ultimate strength higher than their first cracking strength and the formation of multiple cracking during the inelastic deformation process. This study is to develop the hybrid HPFRCC with high ductility and strain capacity in bending and tensile load. and the three-point bending test on hybrid HPRFCC reinforced with micro and macro fibers is carried out in this paper. As the results of the bending tests. hybrid HPFRCCs reinforced with PVA40+SF and PVA100+PVA660 showed the high ultimate bending stress, multiple cracks and displacement hardening under bending load.

The cement-based composites have been used for construction industry because of their economy, suitability for architecture and structure function, fire resistance, low fee of repair, easiness for acquisition. but the limited strain capacity of these makes them tension-weak, brittle, and considerable notch-sensitive. As one of solution, FRC(fiber reinforced concrete) have been investigated for regulating weakness of the cement-based composites. In these day different fiber types are proposed for better performance such as HFRC(hybrid fiber reinforced concrete). This study shows experimental results to search the ultimate strength, the ultimate mean strain, and the tension toughness of HFRC. The tension toughness is proportional to the amount of steel fiber and carbon fiber. In this experimental program we kept the total of steel fiber and carbon fiber as $1.0\%,\;1.5\%$, respectively.

The research reported here is concerned with the effects of the fiber combination condition and water/cement ratio on the mechanical properties of high performance fiber-reinforced cementitious composites(HPFRCC). An experimental investigation of the behavior of steel cords(SC) and SC and Polyethylene(PE) hybrid fiber reinforced cementitious material under compressive and tensile loading is presented. In this experimental research, the tensile and compressive strength and strain capacity of HPFRCC were selected using the cylindrical specimens. The results show that W/C ratio is a significant effect factor on the compressive and tensile performance of HPFRCC. The envelope curve concept applies to hybrid fiber-reinforced cementitious composites in tension just as it does to compressive stress-strain curve of fiber-reinforced cement composites. For practical purposes, the tensile envelope curve may be taken to be the same as the monotonic tensile stress-strain curve.

A procedure of predicting mechanical properties of braided composites was developed. Mechanical behaviors of yams and resin in the composites were represented by elastoplastic constitutive relations. The mechanical properties of the hybrid braided composites were calculated using Method of cells and finite element method. Predictions of finite element method showed good agreement with experimental data but Method of cells predicted lower values than those of the experiment.
