The safe disposal of waste tires has been seen as having a negative impact on the
environment. To mitigate this impact, the components of waste tires can be used in the …

In unsaturated conditions, the durability of concrete structures is strongly dependent on the
evolution of the amount of free water within concrete porosity. Reliable durability …

Carbonation is widely recognised as a significant cause of corrosion of reinforcement in
concrete. However, in addition to the depassivation of the steel it has several other effects …

This study carries out experimental and statistical investigations on Unsaturated Polyester
Polymer Concrete comparing in-situ (cut/cored) and moulded (cast) specimens for flexural …

A three-dimensional diffusion simulation was performed to evaluate the diffusion coefficient
(D) of cementitious materials based on the pore structure determined by mercury intrusion …

The pore space of porous materials strongly affects both mechanical and transport
properties. As regards building materials such as concrete which may be exposed to severe …

In this paper test methods that could be used on in situ concrete are used to obtain values
for the permeability of concrete. The permeability is of interest because it significantly affects …

The study is concerned with development of the method of in situ measurement of air
permeability of porous media. The method applied consists of creating a vacuum in a drilled …

Four tests for measuring the surface properties of concrete have been studied:(1) The initial
surface absorption test;(2) Figg's air permeation index (Figg) test;(3) the covercrete …

Tunnel fires of the past have demonstrated that the load-bearing capacity of the supporting
structure is reduced by temperature-induced degradation of stiffness and strength of …
