In the last few decades, the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) has been reported as one of the
major concrete concerns regarding durability, leading to high maintenance and …

Although alkali-activated cement has received worldwide attention due to its lower energy
consumption and environmental impact than that of traditional ordinary Portland cement …

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and its associated deformation are major durability problems in
concrete structures and was reported as far back as the 1940s by Stanton (2008)[1]. This …

Glass powder prepared of various types of recycled bottles was used in ultra-high
performance concrete (UHPC). Experimental investigation of glass powder as complete …

This paper is focused on the modelling of the mechanical consequences of external sulfate
attack in concrete structures under partially or fully saturated conditions. To this purpose a …

The slow progress of the external sulfate attack and the large size and criticality of typical
structures affected by this phenomenon establish numerical modeling as a key tool to …

Barite in Malaysia is limited; therefore, a locally available alternative source must be
identified to meet the requirements of high-density concrete for radiation shielding. We …

This paper proposes an electrochemical chloride extraction (ECE) model for cement-based
materials that considers coupled multi-ion transport, adsorption and dissolution. Then ECE …

Alkali–silica reaction expansions are disturbed by a variety of mechanisms (alkali leaching,
ASR-gel permeation through cracks, chemical conditions in pore solution water and its …

Alkali silica reaction and its effect on concrete and mortar have been studied for many years.
Several tests and procedures have been formulated to evaluate this reaction, particularly in …
