Abstract: Accelerated corrosion tests were carried out on reinforced‐concrete specimens made with plain and 10% and 20% microsilica‐blended cements. Time to corrosion initiation and corrosion rates of reinforcing steel were measured. ...

Abstract: This research was conducted to evaluate the concomitant effect of chloride and sulfate contamination and high temperature and humidity on carbonation in plain and blended cements. The cement mortar specimens were contaminated ...

Abstract: This paper reports results of an investigation evaluating the strength development and long-term corrosion resistance of concrete mixes incorporating a superplasticizer, two fly ashes, and a natural pozzolan. The compressive ...

Abstract: The present work is a photoelastic investigation of the stress distribution in deep beams with and without web openings. The general form of stress diffusion has been established and the critical zones have been identified. ...

Abstract: In spite of poor record of safety of masonry buildings during past earthquakes, it continues to be the most common method of building construction. A building system, is considered here to investigate the ground motion ...

Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the relative corrosion and sulfate resistance of concrete made with portland cements containing 2%–14%

Abstract: Concrete cover, concrete quality, and bar size have a significant effect on corrosion initiation and corrosion cracking. This paper attempts to quantify the effect of these three parameters in providing corrosion protection ...

Abstract: Using a technique for accelerated corrosion monitoring, corrosion‐resisting characteristics of reinforcement of four plain and 36 fly ash blended cement concretes have been evaluated. Three fly ashes of bituminous, ...

Abstract: The repair performance of resinous and cementitious materials exposed to static and fluctuating temperature conditions has been evaluated in this study, which is of importance for the repair of concrete structures in the ...
