Abstract: Early age cracking is usually the result of internal tensile stresses induced by self-desiccation shrinkage (SDS) rather than external loading. Hence, the prediction of early age cracking risk is strongly linked to autogenous ...

Abstract: Binary and ternary binders are recommended for the production of concrete mixes used in infrastructure because these concretes are environmentally friendly. Moreover, concrete produced by using glass powder (GP) as a binder ...

Abstract: Concrete surfaces in the evaporation zone above sulfate-rich soils are subject to severe damage from scaling. Such a physical sulfate attack (PSA) on concrete is a consequence of a cyclic regime between hot-dry and cold-wet ...
