Abstract:The efficiency of fibre reinforcement in concrete can be drastically increased by orienting the fibres using a magnetic field. This orientation occurs immediately after pouring fresh concrete when the fibres can still move. The technique is most relevant for manufacturing prefabricated elements such as beams or columns. However, the parameters of such a field are not immediately apparent, as they depend on the specific fibre reaction to the magnetic field. In this study, a numerical model was created in ANSYS … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
