Abstract: This study compared the effect of seven common curing conditions on the compressive strength, pore alkalinity, efflorescence, and shrinkage of five alkali-activated fly ash and slag (AAFS) mortars and one cement mix. The ...

Abstract: In this study, the flexural behavior and rotation capacity of welded I-beams made from 690-MPa high-strength steel were investigated through experimental tests and numerical simulations. In the experimental program, a total ...

Abstract: Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcement has been considered as a replacement for the traditional steel reinforcement, mainly due to its corrosion resistance. In this paper, a total of 13 concrete columns and ...

Abstract: Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), despite its superior mechanical and durability properties, has a high CO2 footprint owing to its high portland cement content. This drawback can be offset to a notable extent if a ...
