Global warming-induced sea level rise exacerbates the deterioration of maritime structures
and imperils their long-term durability. Cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland …

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 …

Determination of degrees of hydration/reaction of components of blended cementitious
systems (ie, cement and SCMs: supplementary cementitious materials) is essential to …

Abstract Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)–reinforced seawater–sea sand concrete (SWSSC)
is a new structure form for coastal infrastructure, especially for island construction. The …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the water and chloride
transport properties of unsaturated concrete under combined short-term sustained …

Innovative approaches are under research to study the resistance of chloride ion penetration
in concrete containing chloride ions, to minimize the impact of chloride ion penetration test …

A coupled mechanical-diffusive peridynamics (PD) model is developed to simulate chloride
penetration in saturated concrete under various loadings at meso-scale. PD is implemented …

The paper investigates a new technique, named as Reverse-seepage and Saturation based
Active Anti-corrosion Technology (RS-AAT), for preventing chloride ion invasion within the …

In reinforced concrete (RC) structures, new-to-old concrete interfaces are widely present due
to precast splices, repairs, and construction joints. In this paper, both monolithic and …

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 …
