Abstract: Zeolite is a naturally occurring pozzolanic material that can be beneficiated through calcination, resulting in more efficient usage in concrete as a mineral admixture. The present study analyzes the physicochemical ...

Abstract: The corrosion behavior of steel in cracked ordinary portland cement (OPC) and portland pozzolana cement (PPC) concretes when exposed to a chloride-rich environment is presented here. Three water-to-cement (

Abstract: An experimental study of the confined compression behavior of concrete has been performed using

Abstract: The determination of the fundamental stress versus crack opening

Abstract: This paper discusses the improvement expected in the service life of reinforced concrete (RC) structural elements subjected to chloride-rich environments through the use of blended cement. Comparisons are made between ...

Abstract: Near-surface mounted (NSM) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate strips are used to increase the load-carrying capacity of concrete structures. This is done by inserting the CFRP strips into slits made in the ...
