Abstract The understanding of the cyclic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) elements is of vital importance in relation to the extent of the service life of buildings and infrastructures. Steel rebar corrosion plays a major role in this regard because it significantly affects the overall structural integrity, especially under cyclic loads, leading

Development of a full-Scale approach to predict overlay reflective crack [PDF]
Resurfacing a moderately deteriorated Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement with asphalt concrete (AC) layers is considered an efficient rehabilitation practice. However, reflective cracks may develop shortly after resurfacing because of discontinuities (e.g. joints and cracks) in existing PCC pavement.

Residual textile reinforced mortar‐to‐concrete bond after exposure to harsh environments
Abstract Textile reinforced mortars (TRM) are materials whose mechanical behavior has been extensively investigated during the last few years. However, studies on the behavior of these materials after exposure to various aggressive environments are still limited and, hence, their performance during their entire service life remains to be determined ...

Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...

Silica-coated admixtures of bismuth and gadolinium oxides for 3D printed concrete applications: Rheology, hydration, strength, microstructure, and radiation shielding perspective [PDF]
This study examines the impact of replacing up to 5 vol% of Portland cement (PC) with both pristine Bi2O3/Gd2O3 (BG) and silica-coated BG particles. Two different types of silica coatings, each with varying synthesis methods, were applied to coat the BG structures, and their impact on the fresh, hardened, microstructure and radiation-shielding ...

Alkali-Activated Cement-Based Binders (AACBs) as durable and cost-competitive low-CO2 binder materials: some shortcomings that need to be adressed [PDF]
Available online 14 October 2016.The production of 1 t of ordinary Portland cement generates 0.55 t of chemical CO2 and requires an additional 0.39 t of CO2 in fuel emissions for baking and grinding, accounting for a total of 0.94 t of CO2.
