Abstract: The addition of dry ice as an admixture to cement pastes has many advantages such as improving the compressive strength and sequestration of CO2. However, its effect on the hydration mechanism of cement pastes is still ...

Abstract: Both the crushing and indentation behaviors of sandwich materials are important aspects in failure analysis and energy absorption. In this paper, the core crushing strength of honeycomb materials from the experiment is ...

Abstract: In this paper a review of impact mechanics and high-energy absorbing materials is presented. We review different theoretical models (rigid-body dynamics, elastic, shock, and plastic wave propagation, and nonclassical or ...

Abstract: Durability has always been a major concern in concrete-based infrastructures. Alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is the result of a chemical reaction between hydroxyl ions in pore water and silica from aggregates and cement of ...

Abstract: Geopolymer composite is an innovative and ecofriendly construction material and an alternative to portland cement. Geopolymer concrete is a multifunction material that can be used for different purposes. One of the ...

Abstract: Structural snow fences have been increasingly used in northern regions of the United States. They are known as a cost-effective and efficient technology to prevent snow accumulation on highways and, therefore, improve road ...
