Abstract: Despite the extensive studies in the literature on using copper slag (CS) as fine aggregate within normal concrete to alleviate the thermal cracking of samples exposed to high temperatures, very limited investigations ...

Abstract: Although extensive bond models have been developed for use in the numerical simulation of uncracked reinforced concrete, no simplified method exists providing satisfactory accuracy and efficiency for pre-cracked concrete. ...

Abstract: Improved autogenous healing capacity of concrete using superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) was used as an efficient approach for mitigating damage between steel rebar and self-consolidating concrete (SCC). The results for normal ...
