FLEXURAL PROPERTIES OF UHPFRC BEAMS WITH AN INITIAL NOTCH

Flexural Properties of UHPFRC Beams with an Initial Notch

Experimental and numerical studies are carried out in this study to characterize the flexural properties of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) beams with and without an initial notch reinforced with micro steel fibers in overall ratios of 2% by volume.Dimensions of the notch were 5 mm in width, and 25 mm in height.For this pu

Approaching the Black Hole by Numerical Simulations

Black holes represent extreme conditions of physical laws.Predicted about a century ago, they are now accepted as astrophysical reality by most of the scientific community.Only recently has more direct evidence of their existence been found—the detection of gravitational waves from black hole mergers and of the shadow of a supermassive black
