The use of industrial waste and/or by-products as alternative sources of raw materials in
building materials has become standard practice. The result, more sustainable construction …

This paper investigates the effectiveness of a specific crystalline waterproofing admixture
(CWA) in concrete as a function of a water–binder ratio. Four concrete mixes with and …

In the interest of solving the resource and environmental problems of the construction
industry, low-carbon geopolymer coating ensures great durability and extends the service …

Concrete durability problems are the consequences of moisture penetration and the
transport processes of harmful materials within concrete structures. The transport of water …

Concrete porosity and moisture penetration create several durability problems. The recent
industrial solutions are based on the use of integral waterproofing materials. This paper …

The growing demand for watertight concrete structures is conducive to the development of
research in this area, but their results are rarely published. In order to partially fill this gap …

Geotextiles made from plant fibers creates a suitable environment for plant growth as part of
soil bioengineering techniques. The faster decomposition of plant fiber geotextiles …

Thermal effects in concrete are associated with a heat release from the exothermic cement
hydration reactions during concrete curing under normal conditions or under severe cold …

Reinforcement of steel rebar in concrete infrastructure practices for a long time, mostly to
improve tensile strength as well their service time. However, shortcomings related to …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of a crystallizing chemical admixture on
precast micro concretes with two water contents (7% and 11%, by dried mass) and two …
