Abstract: For better performance evaluation, it is of significance to investigate the factors affecting moisture distribution in concrete pavement slabs. This study provides methodology on both experimental measurement and numerical ...

Abstract: Prediction of the mechanical properties of cement-based materials across scales according to micromechanics-based homogenization is affected by many factors, which include the homogenization scheme, the mechanical property, ...

Abstract: Moisture warping of concrete slab occurs as a long process due to the slow transportation nature of moisture in concrete materials. Creep, as a time-dependent property of concrete, will inevitably affect the mechanical ...

Abstract: The microstructures of seawater cement-based materials normally are influenced by the salinity in seawater, which could result in different properties. The thermal conductivity (λ-value) of seawater cement-based materials ...
