Abstract The mechanical properties of modified sea water sea sand coral concrete (SWSSCC) under axial compression were experimentally studied. Two different parameters were considered in this test: types of cement and fiber. An
experimental campaign was developed involving uniaxial compression tests and
the use of digital image correlation (DIC) method to analyze the strain distribution
and crack propagation of specimen. Test results indicated that the compressive
strength and elastic modulus of SWSSCC were improved by adding stainless steel
fibers (SSF), while polypropylene fibers (PF) enhanced the SWSSCC peak deformation. It was found that the elastic modulus More >
