Abstract: Steel corrosion is a major problem with concrete structures. For cracked concrete structures exposed to chloride environment, chloride diffusivity through the crack (

Abstract: This paper focuses on modeling of the shrinkage stress in concrete pavements that experience nonlinear shrinkage strain through the depth of the slab. A closed form of an analytical solution of shrinkage stress is developed. ...

Abstract: This paper focuses on modeling of the distribution of shrinkage strain in early-age concrete pavements. In the modeling, an integrative model for autogenous and drying shrinkage predictions of concrete at an early age is ...

Abstract: Pore structures are critical for most properties of cementitious materials. To describe the initial pore structure of fresh cement paste, which is the foundation of the evolution of a pore network induced by hydration of ...

Abstract: Estimation of multiscale elastic parameters is of significance for precise design of cementitious material performances, which depends on the materials’ mineral compositions and microstructures. Nanoindentation technology ...
