One of the major forms of environmental attack on reinforced concrete bridges is chloride
ingress, which leads to corrosion of the reinforcing steel and a subsequent reduction in the …

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of existing experimental and modelling
approaches to determine effective diffusion coefficients of water saturated ordinary Portland …

In this study, the effects of graphene oxide (GO) agglomerates on the workability, hydration,
microstructure, and compressive strength of cement paste were addressed. The workability …

In this study, the potential of converting iron ore tailings (IOTs) into sustainable building
materials was explored. IOTs were combined with fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast …

The use of silica fume can significantly enhance mechanical properties of concrete given its
beneficial filling and pozzolanic effects. In this study, a simple and effective double-side …

Graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) is a cheap impermeable carbon-based nanoplatelet with
large surface-to-volume ratio and has been exploited in polymer materials to improve their …

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 …

The pore structure of cement pastes incorporating fly-ash was evaluated during their
hydration process through gravimetry method, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) and …

This study introduces innovative concepts for closed-loop recycling waste concrete to
produce fully recycled concrete (FRC). Multiple test methods and characterization …

The effects of nano-silica (NS) on setting time and early strengths of high volume slag mortar
and concrete have been experimentally studied. Effects of NS dosages, size and dispersion …
