Abstract: Controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a self-compacting, flowable, low-strength, cementitious material used primarily as backfill, void fill, and utility bedding in lieu of conventional compacted fill. Potential ...

Abstract: This study addresses the use of a stress-to-strength ratio as a failure criterion for thermal cracking. Restrained cracking frame specimens and accompanying match-cured concrete cylinders were tested to determine the ratio ...

Abstract: Corrosion of steel cables and reinforcing steel in concrete structures is a major cause of structural deterioration. The current methods for corrosion detection suffer from several significant drawbacks. In this paper, a ...

Abstract: The Arrhenius equation is often used to characterize the progress of portland cement hydration for predicting in-place concrete temperature, strength, and other properties. To apply the Arrhenius equation, an activation energy (
