Finite Element Modeling of the Transition Zone between Aggregat and Mortar in Concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Visual observations to the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between aggregate and mortar in concrete showed that this area differs significantly to the bulk mortar, further away from the ITZ.

Guidelines for UHPC Materials

open access: yesJournal of Asian Concrete Federation
As UHPC exhibited ultra-high strength, good toughness, and superior durability that can be intended for use in precast/cast-in-situ structures, precast structure elements, and repairs for buildings and civil engineering structures and non-structural elements, the guidelines cover the following aspects: (1) Definitions of the terminology ...

The Effect of Granite Waste Powder as a Cement Substitute on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Mortar

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Granite is extensively used in the construction industry; however, substantial solid waste is produced during production. This study focused on the feasibility of replacing cement with granite powder (GP) in cement mortar by investigating various properties, like consistency, water retention, density, setting time, compressive strength, and flexural ...

Plastid establishment did not require a chlamydial partner [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Primary plastids descend from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont of an ancient eukaryotic host, but the initial selective drivers that stabilized the association between these two cells are still unclear.

Bridge Health State Assessment and Multiscale Deterioration Modeling: Methods, Challenges, and Future Prospects

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bridge deterioration modeling plays a crucial role in infrastructure maintenance and lifespan prediction. Current methodologies evolve along three axes: (1) Mechanism‐driven models, which leverage structural mechanics and material degradation theories to provide detailed insights into the physical processes underlying deterioration, constrained by ...

Advanced Nonlinear Analysis of a Retrofitted Cold‐Formed Steel Portal Frame: A Comparison of Traditional and Detailed Modeling Approaches

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 993-998, December 2025.
Abstract This study presents an in‐depth investigation of a cold‐formed steel portal frame structure, originally designed in the 1950s, through advanced nonlinear analysis. The research aims to compare traditional structural modelling approaches with more detailed nonlinear modelling techniques while evaluating various retrofitting strategies.

Use of superabsorbent polymers to mitigate autogenous shrinkage in ultra-high performance concrete [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with low w/c-ratio is very prone to the formation of cracks due to autogenous shrinkage. These cracks can lead to a decreased durability of the concrete, resulting in higher maintenance and/or repair costs in the ...
