Behavioral assessment of graphene nanoplatelets reinforced concrete beams by experimental, statistical, and analytical methods

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) on the mechanical properties of concrete as well as the flexural performance of reinforced concrete (GnP-RC) beams. In the experimental campaign, several dosages of GnP (0.00, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.30, and 0.50 wt o...
