Abstract: Early-age cracking in bridge decks is a severe problem that may reduce functional life of the structure. The effect of lightweight fine aggregate on the cracking tendency of bridge deck concrete was evaluated using ...

Abstract: The maturity method accounts for the effect of curing temperature on the strength development of well-cured and consolidated concrete. This paper describes an investigation of the accuracy of the maturity method to estimate ...

Abstract: The effects of fluctuating temperatures on the setting times of concrete mixtures made with different water-to-cement ratios, supplementary cementing materials (SCMs), and SCM dosages are evaluated in this paper. Initial ...

Abstract: Several methods for predicting the one-way shear strength of reinforced concrete beams and one-way slabs are available in the literature. An assessment regarding the accuracy of a selection of one-way shear strength methods ...
