Abstract: Understanding the strain-softening behavior of concrete provides an essential key for numerical modeling. The strain-softening response depends, among other influences, on the degree of lateral constraint. In this paper ...

Abstract: This paper analyzed the eco-efficiency of concretes (water/cement ratio = 0.50; cement content=350  kg/m3, and slump = 7 cm) with blended cement containing 25% by weight calcined pozzolan obtained from a low-grade ...
