CAREER: Crack Initiation and Crack Propagation in Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Composites

这个职业奖项目将把教育和研究结合在一种新型混杂纤维增强复合胶凝材料（HFRCC）上，在这种材料中，大纤维和小纤维都被使用，以获得更高的强度和更好的韧性。主要研究目的是研究HFRCC材料的裂纹萌生和扩展。第二个目标是优化低配筋值下的性能。教育项目包括土木工程材料课程的现代化和相关活动。＊＊＊

9624980 Ostertag This CAREER award project will combine education and research in a new class of hybrid fiber reinforced composite cementitious (HFRCC) materials in which both large and small fibers are used to achieve high strength with better toughness. The primary research objective involves the study of crack initiation and propagation in the HFRCC materials. A secondary objective is to optimize the properties at low reinforcement values. The educational project involves modernizing the civil engineering materials courses and related activities. ***
