Cement-based materials, including cement and concrete, are the most widely used
construction materials in the world. In recent years, the investigation and application of …

This paper presents a discussion on the subject of fracture energy of concrete and effective
parameters. Therefore, it serves as an overview of the available approaches in determining …

In this study, we focused on the correlations among the fractal dimension, compressive
strength, and permeability of concrete incorporating silica fume. The fractal dimension was …

Basalt fiber concrete, as a new type of composite material with low price and superior
performance, has a broad market and prospect in the field of civil engineering and …

This paper describes the steel fiber effect on the crack permeability and crack surface
topography of concrete subjected to freeze-thaw damage. The sequential crack permeability …

Surface roughness plays an important role in the behavior of concrete-to-concrete
interfaces. Methods like sand-blasting and hydrodemolition are usually adopted to improve …

Previous studies proved that the bond strength between two concrete layers is highly
influenced by the roughness of the substrate surface. In this paper, the authors describe a …

Casting concrete at different ages for new construction and repairing or retrofitting concrete
structures requires a sufficient bond between concrete casts. The bond strength between …

Organic corrosion inhibitors (OCIs) are commonly used to enhance reinforced concrete
durability in the marine environment. In this contribution, the effects of OCIs on steel …

The characteristics of pore-fracture networks, as well as their evolution in coal during
loading, are important for exploration of coalbed methane. In this study, the evolution of …
