...Xiaoqi Du; Zheng Si; Liyun Tang; Lingzhi Huang; Botuan Deng; Peiyong Qiu To ensure the application of microbial self-healing concrete ( MSHC ) in practical engineering, it is imperative to investigate its constitutive model and the effect of microbial self-healing agent ( MSHA ) dosage on concrete...

...Mingliang Zhang; Ran Kang Evaluating the durability of concrete materials through experimental research is a lengthy, costly and inefficient process. Traditional empirical formulae offer limited accuracy in predicting durability and fail to guide concrete proportioning based on performance...

... and concrete were investigated. The correlation equations of the shrinkage deformation of cement paste, cement mortar and concrete were established, and the drying shrinkage prediction model of cement mortar with accelerator was constructed by combining the ACI 209 model and the GL2000 model. Findings from...

...Beixing Li; Hongtian Yang; Xiaolu Yuan The durability of concrete under combined acidic exposure and flexural loading was studied. Concrete specimens were made and subjected to up to 168 days of exposure to flexural loading (stress levels of 0, 0.35 and 0.50 of the 28 day flexural strength...

...Nicole Pagan Hasparyk; Sandro Marden Torres; Francieli Tiecher; Guilherme Amantino; Wesley Maciel de Souza The behaviour of concretes with and without rice husk ash was experimentally investigated with respect to the susceptibility to delayed ettringite formation. Concrete specimens have previously...

... clay tolerance concrete functional monomer polycarboxylate superplasticiser Polycarboxylate superplasticisers (PCEs) are widely used in concrete production due to advantages such as low required dosage, desirable slump retention, high water-reducing ratio, adjustable molecular structure...
