Concrete, as the most widely used construction material, is inextricably connected with
human development. Despite conceptual and methodological progress in concrete science …

Lithium slag (LS) powder is a potential supplementary cementitious material due to its large
content of active aluminosilicate minerals. To clarify the properties of LS powder as a …

This paper describes the effect of fly ash on the hydration kinetics of cement in low water to
binder (w/b) fly ash-cement at different curing temperatures. The modified shrinking-core …

Concrete is the most used construction material for a century. After casting and setting,
concrete shows various dimensional physical and mechanical evolutions, of which drying. It …

Cemented paste backfill (CPB) is a type of cementitious material produced with tailings,
cement, and water. Typically, CPB has a high proportion of tailings (75–80 wt%), which may …

In the present study two pozzolanic materials are used, Metakaolin (MK) and Fly Ash (PFA),
as binary and ternary partial replacement binders with Portland cement (PC) to investigate …

Carbonation on concrete structures in underground sites or metropolitan cities is one of the
major causes of steel corrosion in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures. For quantitative …

The development of information technology provides means for quick access to a wide
variety of information and methods of modelling complex systems. Simulation models …

Chloride attack is one of the major causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures.
In order to evaluate the chloride behavior in concrete, a reasonable prediction for the …

Autogenous shrinkage is a non-trivial problem affecting the use of ultra-high-strength
concrete (UHSC). Hydration is an important cause of autogenous shrinkage. This study …
