Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) has attracted considerable attention since its first use as an
alternative material to the well-known traditional Portland cement concrete (PCC) due to …

The traditional concrete is one of the most energy-intensive construction materials
responsible for about 10% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Efforts are …

Due to the significant benefit of carbon footprint reduction with the use of cement-less
geopolymer concrete, researches had shifted their focus towards the study of the behaviour …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) is a potentially sustainable building material having acceptable
fresh, mechanical, and durable characteristics still, it has not attained global acceptance due …

A theoretical analytical model of bond stress-slip between lightweight aggregate concrete
and rebar is presented by using the virtual crack model of fracture mechanics to analyze the …

Considerable numbers of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges in the US are structurally
deficient mainly due to corrosion. Corrosion affects the structural integrity by deteriorating …

Concrete is by far the most widely used construction material worldwide in terms of volume,

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete has proved to be a serious
detriment to the service life of structures. Whereas there are a multitude of methods that have …

Previous investigations carried out on reinforced self-compacted concrete (SCC) beams
have reported contradictory results on reinforcement bond behaviour occurring in the zones …

Bonding between reinforcement and concrete may be idealized as a shear force along the
surface of the reinforcement. Most predictions on bond strength have been empirical and …
