Mitigating autogenous shrinkage by means of superabsorbent polymers : effect on concrete properties [PDF]
, 2017 (Ultra-)high performance concrete ((U)HPC) is very prone to autogenous shrinkage cracking. These cracks can create preferential pathways for the ingress of harmful substances which can facilitate the corrosion process of the steel reinforcement ...

Redefining Landscape Structure for Ecosystem Services [PDF]
Current Landscape Ecology Reports, 2016 Our understanding of the effects of landscape structure on ecosystem services (ES) remains at a very early stage, despite a large body of literature on the effects of the composition and configuration of natural land cover on some ES. Here, I argue that a comprehensive understanding of the effects of landscape structure on ES requires us to reconsider ...

Effect of soil–structure interaction on the reliability of reinforced concrete bridges
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2015 In the design of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges, the random and nonlinear behavior of soil may lead to insufficient reliability levels. For this reason, it is necessary to take into account the variability of soil properties which can significantly ...
