Abstract: The effect of limestone powder content on the CO2 curing degree (the carbonation rate after the CO2 curing process), compressive strength, reaction products, and microstructure of concrete cured in a CO2 environment were ...

Abstract: Drop-weight tests are conducted to study the dynamic flexural properties of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) under four different impact velocities, corresponding to strain rates of 15, 35, 55, and 75  s−1. The effect of ...

Abstract: It is acknowledged that porosity and voids encapsulated in rocks significantly affect the mechanical behavior of specimens from laboratory observations. In this study, a proposed conceptual porosity model was idealized to ...

Abstract: Flexural behavior of textile-reinforced concrete (TRC) samples were investigated by using three-point bending test systems under quasi-static and low-velocity (1.–4.5  m/s) impact loadings. Two types of TRC samples, namely ...

Abstract: AbstractThis study investigated the corrosion behavior of cement–fly-ash–slag ternary mortars in CO2-rich water containing chloride ions and the impact of CO2-rich water corrosion on the redistribution of chloride ions in ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, the internal curing capacity of fine coral aggregates incorporated in ultrahigh performance seawater sea sand concrete (UHPSSC) was investigated. The results showed that the release of internal curing ...
