X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique that offers a 3D insight into
the microstructure of thick (opaque) samples with virtually no preliminary sample …

X-ray computed tomography (CT), as an imaging technique, has played an important role in
the area of material characterization in civil engineering during the past 40 years. It has …

Methodological challenges have long been an obstacle for the understanding of damage in
concrete due to the alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Time-lapse X-ray tomography could be key …

The alkali–aggregate reaction comprises the alkali–silica reaction (ASR) and the alkali–
carbonate reaction (ACR). Reaction kinetics of the ASR depends on the grain size and …

Recycling waste glass aggregate into concrete can reduce environmental impacts but also
may lead to serious alkali silica reaction (ASR) damage. This study aims to characterize …

In this study, we propose a laboratory-scale methodology, based on X-ray micro-tomography
and caesium (Cs) as a contrast agent, to advance the understanding of cracking due to …

Diammonium hydrogen phosphate (DAP) solutions are used as consolidants for carbonate
stone materials through the crystallization whithin the original matrix of newly formed …

This work aims to investigate the inhibitory effect and inhibitory mechanism of waste tire
rubber powder (abbreviated as WRP) and polypropylene fiber (PPF), and their binary blends …

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is the result of complex chemical reactions. The exact sequence
of ASR gel formation has yet to be fully understood. One promising hypothesis is that ASR …

This study focuses on two separate investigations of the main aging mechanisms: alkali–
silica reactivity (ASR) and the corrosion of reinforcing steel (rebar) concrete, both of which …
