Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) differ from natural aggregate as the former contains
attached mortar. Given the recycling process of RCA, that is, by crushing, the microstructure …

Production of concrete is consuming significant amounts of raw materials, high level of
energy, and is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. This induces significant harmful impact on …

This study investigated the mechanical properties and elevated temperatures of lightweight
concrete (LWC) incorporating polypropylene fibre (PPF) and glass fibre (GF). The …

Anti-water-penetration techniques are important to raise the durability of cement-based
materials (CBMs). Here the water penetration resistances of cement mortars with ethylene …

This study investigated synergetic effects of hybrid polypropylene (PP) and steel fibers on
explosive spalling prevention of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) at elevated …

Chloride profiles are used to select concrete compositions for new reinforced concrete
structures, evaluate the condition of existing structures, and to predict their remaining service …

With the rapid development of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) as a promising sustainable
concrete, it is vital to thoroughly understand the microstructural characteristics and …

Moisture dynamics in brick, stone and concrete has a controlling influence on the durability
and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

The improvements in the overall performances of concrete with blended materials were
often ascribed to the modification of its hardened paste in general. In this paper, the effects …

This paper investigates the individual and combined effects of polypropylene (PP) fibers,
steel fibers, and aggregate size on spalling behavior and pore pressure build-up of ultra …
