As one of the major causes of concrete deterioration, the carbonation of concrete has been
widely investigated over recent decades. In recent years, the effect of mechanical load on …

Large-volume concrete structures in the saline areas of Western China often have cold joint
structural surfaces due to the improper handling of construction joints, dividing them into old …

Discontinuous pouring of concrete members leads to the formation of cold joints, thus
increasing the risk of structural cracking. In this study, a three-point bending test was …

Bridge construction is one of the cores of traffic infrastructure construction. To better develop
relevant bridge science, this paper introduces the main research progress in China and …

Carbonation of concrete, in which 0%, 50% and 70% of cement was replaced by blast
furnace slag (BFS), under different levels of sustained compressive load (0, 0.25, 0.5 and …

To investigate the erosion and damage mechanism of concrete with cold joint in the cold
and arid saline environment of western China, the energy evolution of concrete with cold …

This paper investigates the effect of pouring interval on the fracture performance and fracture
characteristics of concrete beam with cold joints through three-point bending experiments …

Durability of concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is crucial to the
longevity of our built environment. Current research on the carbonation performance of …

This study investigated the effects of cold joints on the strength and some durability
properties of concrete. In the first part of the study, fresh concrete was poured into molds …

Introduction: Construction joint is common and even inevitable in most of the reinforcement
concrete structures. This study was to assess the effect of construction joints on chloride …
