Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Durability performance of a high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete for bridge applications
Abstract This paper investigates the durability performance of a coarse‐aggregate high‐performance fiber‐reinforced concrete (HPFRC) developed as a cost‐efficient material solution for precast bridge applications. A comprehensive experimental program was conducted to assess the resistance of the material to the principal deterioration mechanisms ...

Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...

Abstract The implementation of traditional steel reinforcement in 3D concrete printed structures is a major challenge. Although 3D‐printed structures may be used as formwork, the knowledge about their structural contribution is limited. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the structural performance of reinforced concrete prisms with 3D ...
