A Low-Autogenous-Shrinkage Alkali-Activated Slag and Fly Ash Concrete
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]
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 theoretical modelling of concrete shrinkage in massive structures [PDF]
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]
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]
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
