This work studies the use of ultrasonic imaging as an evaluation tool in concrete subjected
to freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles. To evaluate the damage in this deterioration process, ultrasonic …

This paper addresses a soil bio-stabilization technique using bacterial enzyme-induced
calcium carbonate precipitation (BEICP) as an alternative to previous conventional methods …

This study investigated the corrosion damage and bearing characteristics of bridge pile
foundations under a dry‐wet‐freeze‐thaw cycle of composite salt in an alpine salt marsh …

The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau is the main permafrost area in China. Concrete structures
constructed on permafrost are affected by the early negative-temperature environment. In …

This paper deals with the study of damage produced during freeze-thaw (FT) cycles using
two non-destructive measurement approaches—the first approach devoted to continuous …

The aim of the study was to solve the problem of drainage stability of pavement base in cold
and Cloudburst area. With porous concrete as the research object, an optimum design of …

Flatbed scanner is a low cost, fast, easy to operate, and efficient device for high quality
digital image acquisition. The present study extended the applications of flatbed scanners …

Durability is an essential aspect of the lifetime performance of concrete components. The
adequate surface quality and thus the service life of concrete can be achieved, among other …

The current standards that regulate use of structural concrete have highlighted the durability
of concrete. However, how the fracture energy of concrete evolves under the action of freeze …

Most of the standards that evaluate the resistance of concrete against freeze-thaw cycles
(FTC) are based on the loss of weight due to scaling. Such procedures are useful but do not …
