Temperature and RH of Normal Concrete and Mortar Subjected to Drying in an Indoor Cesidential Environment
Author(s) Mohammad Kamran Kaustav Sarkar Abstract The evolution of internal temperature and relative humidity (RH) distributions in initially saturated normal concrete and mortar cubes with water/cement (w/c) ratios of 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 stored in an indoor...
Mitigation of Autogenous Shrinkage of High-strength Concrete Using Rice Husk Ashes with Distinct Pore Structures
Author(s) Amanda Pereira Vieira Romildo Dias Toledo Filho Luís Marcelo Tavares Guilherme Chagas Cordeiro Abstract The effect of particle size (50% passing size (D50) of 20 μm, 14 μm and 7 μm) and content (8%, 10% and 12% by mass) of rice husk ash (RHA) on the...
Fresh and Hardened Properties of 3D-printable Polymer-fibre-reinforced High-performance Cementitious Composite
Author(s) Luong Pham Biranchi Panda Phuong Tran Abstract The aim of this research was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) printable high-performance cementitious composite (CC) reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polypropylene (PP) fibres. The...
Seismic Resilience for Recovery Investments of Bridges Methodology
Author(s) Davide Forcellini Kevin Q. Walsh Abstract Bridges are fundamental links for the movement of goods and people and bridge damage can thus have significant impacts on society and the economy. Earthquakes can be extremely destructive and can compromise...
No AccessImpact of Sodium Silicate Solution Chemistry on Product Formation and Jelly Hardening of Alkali-activated GGBS Mortars
Author(s) Lili Liu Yongsheng Ji Li Zhang Zhishan Xu Furong Ga Abstract This study investigated the effect of silicate modulus (M = silicon dioxide (SiO2)/sodium oxide (Na2O) by mass) and activator content S (mass proportion of sodium oxide and silicon dioxide...
Experimental Study of a Novel Open-web Sandwich Slab and Modified Design Procedure
Author(s) Zhi-Peng Chen De-Cheng Feng Gang Wu Ke-Jian Ma Abstract A modified design method of a novel large-span floor system called an open-web sandwich slab (OWSS) is discussed. By considering some crucial parameters ignored in current design procedures, a...
