Today, high-viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) is widely used in drainage asphalt pavements. However, due to its high construction temperature, HVMA is prone to thermal oxidative aging, which reduces its life cycle and ...

The durability of concrete structures that have been in service for a long time under the coupled action of stray current and salt-brine environment has become increasingly important. Because of the excellent mechanical ...

Concrete face rockfill dam (CFRD) is a commonly used and cost-effective type of dams. However, random cracks are often seen in the face slab concrete (FSC) of a CFRD during construction, largely due to the shrinkage caused ...

In the process of making steel, around 10%–15% of slag is produced. In the last decade, several studies have proposed the application of steel slag as geomaterial. However, its potential application as a subgrade material ...

In this work, the feasibility of incorporating different industrial wastes in the production of ultrahigh-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) is investigated. Five different blends of UHPFRC were produced, ...

This study was conceived to develop the optimum mix for cement-stabilized bamboo fiber–reinforced clay bricks for low-cost farm settlements. The concept was concerned with the provision of houses in rural areas as incentive ...

This study aims to investigate the effect of pore physical and chemical microstructure factors on the durability properties of self-compacting concrete containing metakaolin and silica fume. This study identified the pore ...

Benefiting from its excellent sustainable plastic carrying capacity, rubberized concrete (RuC) has received extensive attention. In this study, the dependency of rubber aggregate (RA) particle size influencing factor on ...

In practice, the initial corrosion of steel is particularly important in terms of the assessment of serviceability and durability. Corrosion initiation of steel is strongly affected by ion chemical compositions and ...
