Abstract: This work investigated whether and how a common agro-based additive, beetroot juice, alters the detrimental effects of chloride brines on the durability of cement concrete, by evaluating the frost resistance of ordinary ...

Abstract: Microscopic characterization and macroscopic specific experiments are combined to explore the influence of functional graphene oxide (GO) on cementitious composites performance. The simulation through molecular dynamics ...

Abstract: The steel–concrete–steel (SCS) sandwich composite structures with orthogonal longitudinal and transverse (bidirectional) steel webs exhibit superiorities in strength, ductility, impact resistance, blast resistance, and ...

Abstract: In this study, a smart rock, which is a magnet embedded in a concrete ball and whose direction is always pointing downwards, is proposed to monitor bridge scour depth. Based on the theory of magnetic field, the distribution ...

Abstract: The purpose of this work is to improve understanding of the aging characteristics of colored ultrathin overlay. In this study, a colored ultrathin overlay was prepared with a binder produced with a waterborne epoxy resin ...
