Freeze–Thaw Effect on Road Concrete Containing Blast Furnace Slag: NMR Relaxometry Investigations
Author(s) Liliana Maria Nicula, Ofelia Corbu, Ioan Ardelean, Andrei Victor Sandu Abstract The present work investigates the effect of freeze–thaw cycles on the porosity of three mixtures of road concrete containing blast furnace slag in comparison with two...
Design Service Life of RC Structures with Self-Healing Behaviour to Increase Infrastructure Carbon Savings
Author(s) Ana Bras, John Milan van der Bergh, Hazha Mohammed and Ismini Nakouti Abstract Corrosion of reinforced concrete (RC) structures costs the UK GBP 23b annually and is one of the main durability problems contributing to the development of rust, spalling,...
Contrast of Concrete Dynamic Constitutive Models and Simulation of Vessel–bridge Collision
Author(s) Mi Zhou, PhD Jiang Wu, MCE Jianwei Song, PhD Guoqiang Zhu, MCE Chao Wang, MCE George C. Lee, PhD Abstract Long-span bridges are constructed to cross oceans or rivers. With the rapid growth of waterway transportation, vessel–bridge collision incidents...
Characterisation Studies on the Particle Size Effect of Calcium Carbonate in High-strength Concrete
Author(s) Srinivasan Maheswaran Avadhanam Ramachandra Murthy Vedachalam Ramesh Kumar Arthi Karunanithi Abstract The main objective of this study was to determine the hydration activity and shrinkage of high-strength concrete (HSC) after the incorporation of...
Influence of Graded glass Fibres on Strain Hardening and Strain softening Behaviour of CGGF under Uniaxial Stress
Author(s) Hanuma Kasagani Sri Ram Ravi Teja Prathipati Chittem Butchi Kamiswara Rao Abstract In this investigation, four different lengths of glass fibres were blended together in a graded glass fibre form – that is, short graded glass fibre (SGGF: 3 + 6 mm),...
Stress–strain Behaviour of Bio-desaturated Sand Under Undrained Monotonic and Cyclic Loading
Author(s) Kangda Wang* Jian Chu† Shifan Wu‡ Jia He§ Abstract Microbial (or bio-) desaturation is a new method for mitigation of the liquefaction hazard of sand. In this paper, a series of monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests was performed on bio-desaturated sand...

Author(s) Nilo Cesar Consoli* Mariana da Silva Carretta* Lucas Festugato* Helena Batista Leon* Lennon Ferreira Tomasi* Karla Salvagni Heineck* Abstract Waste glass is a solid residue usually available near urban centres, where it is discarded after being used...
The Initial, Primary and Secondary Consolidation Response of Soft clay Reinforced with a Granular Column Under Isolated Loading
Author(s) Vinayagamoothy Sivakumar* M. Catherine Moorhead† Shane Donohue‡ Colin J. Serridge§ Snehasis Tripathy∥ John McKinley* Ciaran Doherty¶ Abstract This paper presents the assessment of consolidation and creep settlements of an isolated circular footing...
Effects of Urease-producing Bacteria on Permeability and Strength Control for Sands
Authore(s) Authors: S. Ikoma* T. Hata* J. Yoneda† K. Yamamoto‡ Abstract In the ground improvement field, microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a novel bio-based soil improvement technique. To apply this technique, the presence of an actual...
