This research aims to study the effects of setting times and soundness of the GGBFS cement
for various fineness of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) as partial replacement …

Due to its environmentally friendly features and economic benefits, biochar has garnered
increasing attention as a sustainable and carbon-negative material in the construction …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The performance of a concrete structure can be greatly affected by the presence of a cold
joint: it causes deterioration of steel reinforcement in concrete, strength reduction, and …

A cold joint is the main problem in concrete construction, especially in large quantities such
as mass concrete. The capacity of mixing plan and manpower make monolith casting is …
