Owing to the ongoing increase in human population, there is a need for more construction
projects including residential buildings and other amenities. Concrete is by far the dominant …

The study presented in this paper proposes a non-destructive methodology to monitor the
incipient formation products from expansive and deleterious reactions such as ASR and …

The construction year of road bridges plays an important role in bridge management
systems. Based on the age of road bridges and other factors, deterministic and probabilistic …

Delayed Ettringite formation (DEF) is an internal expansive reaction that can damage
concrete. DEF is strongly influenced by the temperature, above about 60-65° C, and other …

Multiple physicochemical and microstructural techniques were successfully conducted to
characterize materials and cement composites induced to delayed ettringite formation …

Processed spent bleaching earth (PSBE) is the end product derived from the processing of
de-oiled spent bleaching earth (SBE) after the oil is recovered. Bleaching earth is very fine …

The purpose of this paper is to present an evaluation of different types of cement and the
incidence of Delayed Ettringite Formation (DEF) through mortar composites cast in the …

No Brasil várias estruturas de concreto tem se mostrado deterioradas precocemente em
decorrência da formação tardia da etringita (DEF). Ainda existem muitas lacunas e, em …

Expansion additives have been used in cement plugs to mitigate the potential risk of plug
failure resulting from shrinkage. These additives are effective only when their amount is …

Sulfate attack is one of the drawbacks of cementitious materials for stabilized soils. In the
current study, a durability comparison of stabilized soil with cement (Type IV) and waste …
