A Low-Autogenous-Shrinkage Alkali-Activated Slag and Fly Ash Concrete

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Alkali-activated slag and fly ash (AASF) materials are emerging as promising alternatives to conventional Portland cement. Despite the superior mechanical properties of AASF materials, they are known to show large autogenous shrinkage, which hinders the ...

Prediction of the sintering shrinkage of glass-alumina functionally graded materials by a BP artificial neural network [PDF]

open access: yesScience of Sintering, 2009
The shrinkage of the glass-alumina functionally graded materials (G-A FGMs) as a function of sintering temperature, layers, and the alumina content was predicted by a back propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN).

Experimental Research on Compressive and Shrinkage Properties of ECC Containing Ceramic Wastes Under Different Curing Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2021
Engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) suffer from high shrinkage and low early strength due to large dosage of cementitious materials and slow hydration of fly ash.

Experimental theoretical modelling of concrete shrinkage in massive structures [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
In spite of the high culture of modern construction, the majority of massive structures erected in different countries of the world cannot avoid shrinkage cracks during the curing process, which negatively affect both the stiffness and durability of such

Studying the Effect of Shrinkage on the Bond Strength of Mortars, Applied to Substrate Concrete, Using “Friction-Transfer” and “Pull-Off” Methods [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021
Considering the differences that exist between the laboratory and site conditions, the in-situ estimation of bond strength of repair mortars is important. Therefore, in this paper, the results obtained from the use of two methods, “Friction-transfer” and

Pseudorandomness from Shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yes2012 IEEE 53rd Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 2012
One powerful theme in complexity theory and pseudorandomness in the past few decades has been the use of lower bounds to give pseudorandom generators (PRGs). However, the general results using this hardness vs. randomness paradigm suffer from a quantitative loss in parameters, and hence do not give nontrivial implications for models where we don’t know
