Most durability problems with cement-based materials (CBMs) are water related, and CBMs
are rarely fully water saturated in service. Therefore, methods for non-destructive testing …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of chloride ions on the durability and
mechanical properties of non-desalted sea sand (NSS) concrete containing fly ash (FA) or …

This study focuses on the identification of concrete behavior under severe triaxial loading in
order to better evaluate the vulnerability of sensitive infrastructure to near-field detonations …

The paper deals with the dimensional variations of High Performance Concretes subjected
simultaneously to cyclic water exchanges and loading. The aim is to quantify the drying …

Dry-cured concrete usually suffers from a far more severe early-age shrinkage, resulting in
cracks that significantly deteriorate the corresponding mechanical properties. However, the …

The variation in impact resistance of coral aggregate concrete (CAC) under different levels
of water saturation was investigated. Results show that the free water improves not only the …

In this research a cement-based strain sensor (CBSS) with high strength and self-sensing
ability is developed, and the use of the high strength CBSS for structural health monitoring of …

Computational analysis of debris flow dynamics and its impact on structures, including check
dams, is a long-standing problem for hazard prevention. It's a complex issue involving two …

This study investigates effects of nano silica on short-term drying shrinkage of mortars with
palm oil fuel ash (POFA) during the first 28 days of curing. Furthermore, moisture content …

Abstract Machine learning (ML) techniques have been increasingly applied in various
scientific fields, including non-destructive testing (NDT), to enhance efficiency and speed up …
