Concrete is a widely used construction material, and cement is its main constituent.
Production and utilization of cement severely affect the environment due to the emission of …

The use of industrial waste and/or by-products as alternative sources of raw materials in
building materials has become standard practice. The result, more sustainable construction …

Because of the ever-increasing demand for lightweight concrete (LC), especially in structural
applications where it is used to reduce dead load of the structure and construction costs …

Concrete deterioration due to alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is one of the main durability
concerns. This study explores the feasibility of minimizing ASR-induced deterioration by …

Concrete durability problems are the consequences of moisture penetration and the
transport processes of harmful materials within concrete structures. The transport of water …

Concrete porosity and moisture penetration create several durability problems. The recent
industrial solutions are based on the use of integral waterproofing materials. This paper …

Sulfur is amongst the most important and useful industrial materials. A key product of sulfur
is what we know as sulfur concrete (SC). However, the estimation of the compressive …

This study investigated the strain behavior of various reinforced concrete structures cast with
expansive concrete. Laboratory tests, field measurement, and finite element (FE) analysis on …

In recent decades, layered double hydroxides (LDH) have been proposed as innovative
corrosion inhibitors for reinforced concrete. Their protective action is based on the ability to …

Thermal effects in concrete are associated with a heat release from the exothermic cement
hydration reactions during concrete curing under normal conditions or under severe cold …
