This paper surveys different material combinations and applications in the field of mineral-based strengthening of concrete structures. Focus is placed on mechanical behaviour on material and component levels in different cementitious composites; with the intention of systematically maping the applicable materials and material combinations for mineral-based strengthening. A comprehensive description of a particular strengthening system developed in Sweden and Denmark, denominated as Mineral-based Composites (MBCs), together with tests from composite material properties to structural elements is given. From tests and survey it can be concluded that the use of mineral-based strengthening system can be effectively used to increase the load bearing capacity of the strengthened structure. The paper concludes with suggestions on further development in the field of mineral-based strengthening.

The aim of this paper is to determine the mechanical properties of textile reinforcements laminated composite material and to establish the influence of thickness about these properties. The composite material used for this is a laminated sheet of HGW 2082. In order to study the mechanical behaviour of these kinds of materials we select two experimental tests: uniaxial test and bending test. For the uniaxial test we have measured the maximum load, the maximum extension, the maximum tensile stress and the maximum tensile strain. Also, using an optical extensometer we measured the major and the minor strains. For the bending test we measured the maximum load and the maximum bending deflection and the major and minor strains. After the uniaxial tension tests we can draw that we obtained the following results: the maximum value of the local major strain and equivalent strain decreases with the increase of the specimen thickness. After the bending test we can draw the following conclusions: the maximum value of the bending deflection decreases with the increase of the specimen thickness while the maximum value of the local major strain increases with the increase of the specimen thickness.


Composite material is less in weight, high in strength, or also less costly. Composite material is generally a mixture of two or more same or different metals. We can use composite metal in different mechanical sector, because of their multipurpose uses. In this work, we propose an Aluminium alloy 2219 based metal matrix composite with controlled distribution of silicon nitride to fabricate specimens with different composition of silicon nitride for the investigation of mechanical behaviour of the same. The fabrication of the composite is done by means of Stir Casting Process. The mechanical behaviour of the entire specimen is investigated such as change in microstructure, hardness test and compression test, to compare its result with existing composite materials. The work is intended to produce a totally new composite material with various composition of reinforcement and to investigate their mechanical properties. The article present in the abstract contains an example of silicon nitride with aluminium alloy 2219 model and a result of simulation.
