RISMechanical and Microstructural Properties of Nanoconcretes Exposed to Low-Temperature Curing
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Low-temperature curing significantly affects the performance of concrete. This study explored the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of concretes modified with three kinds of nanoparticles [i.e., nano-CuO (NC), ...
Effect of Temperature Gradients on the Frost Heave of a Saturated Silty Clay with a Water Supply
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Frost heave is the primary cause of frost damage in cold regions. For frost-susceptible soils, water migration induced by a temperature gradient is a key factor in determining the frost heave of the soils with a water ...
Effect of Freeze–Thaw–Dry–Wet Cycles on the Shear Behavior of Silty Clay Salinized in Wetting Processes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In cold and arid saline areas, the mechanical properties of soils are usually significantly affected by some complicated conditions, especially the coupled effects of the freeze–thaw–dry–wet (F–T–D–W) cycles and soil ...
Study on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Mortar with Added Silica Fume, Nano-CaCO<sub>3</sub>, and Epoxy Resin under the Action of Salt and Freeze–Thaw
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Many engineering problems are caused by the destruction of cement-based materials through the combination of salt mixtures and freezing/thawing. To improve the performance of cement-based materials under harsh environmental ...
