Discussing different approaches for the time-zero as start for autogenous shrinkage in cement pastes containing superabsorbent polymers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many studies have already been published concerning autogenous shrinkage in cementitious materials. Still, no consensus can be found in the literature regarding the determination of the time-zero to initiate the recording of autogenous shrinkage.

Evaluating the effect of crumb rubber and nano silica on the properties of high volume fly ash roller compacted concrete pavement using non-destructive techniques

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2018
The major problems related to roller compacted concrete (RCC) pavement are high rigidity, lower tensile strength which causes a tendency of cracking due to thermal or plastic shrinkage, flexural and fatigue loads.

Impact of Admixtures on Segregation in Self-compacting concrete: A Comparative Study Between Standardized and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV) Methods

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering and Exact Sciences
Mastering the rheology of self-compacting concrete (SCC) remains a major challenge for researchers. One of the main obstacles is segregation, an undesirable phenomenon where aggregates separate from the matrix, thus compromising the quality and homogeneity of the material. This study aims to use the ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) measurement technique
