Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a type of cement-based composite for new
construction and/or restoration of existing structures to extend service life. UHPC features …

In recent years, an emerging technology termed,“High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced
Concrete (HPFRC)” has become popular in the construction industry. The materials used in …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) demonstrates relatively high autogenous
shrinkage at early age due to the use of high binder content and low water-to-binder ratio of …

Due to the high content of binder and low water to cement ratio, ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC), exhibits higher levels of autogenous shrinkage compared to ordinary …

Steam curing is a crucial stage for the strength development of steam-cured concrete. This
study comprehensively investigated the hydration kinetics, mechanical properties, and …

This paper presents various mechanisms that can explain the cause of excessive
autogenous shrinkage exhibited by alkali activated slag mortars (AASM) compared to …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper was to review the composition, properties,
biocompatibility, and the clinical results involving the use of mineral trioxide aggregate …

With advances in construction industry, restraining the shrinkage cracking of cement-based
materials has become increasingly prominent. Shrinkage reducing admixtures (SRA) can …

Plastic cracking is probably one of the earliest defects for concrete structures, and is capable
of reducing a structure's durability and service life if not prevented. Over the last 60 years …

Abstract The American Concrete Institute in 2010 defined internal curing as “supplying water
throughout a freshly placed cementitious mixture using reservoirs, via pre-wetted lightweight …
