Water is often added to concrete placing for easy workability and finishability in construction
site. The additional mixing water can help easy mixing and workability but causes increased …

Greenhouse gases (GHG), in terms of CO 2 emissions, cause a greenhouse impact leading
to changes in the planet's temperature and relative humidity (RH). These changes in CO 2 …

Concrete is the most common man-made material in today's world. Embedded steel
reinforcement may corrode due to chloride presence from de-icing salts or salt water, having …

Corrosion-induced cracking is one important limit state in the durability performance
analysis of the reinforcement concrete (RC) structures. A comprehensive probabilistic …

RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures undergo deterioration and the initiated corrosion in the
steel is considered as one of the most critical problems. For efficient construction of …

Limestone is widely used in the construction industry to produce Portland limestone cement
(PLC) concrete. Systematic evaluations of hydration kinetics, compressive strength …

Fatigue performance of RC plate girder was experimentally investigated. A corrosion-fatigue
life assessment approach of railway RC girders under combined carbonation and train loads …

Half cell potential is a widely adopted Non-Destructive Technique in field to evaluate the
corrosion of steel in concrete structures qualitatively. If the concrete is exposed to chloride …

Carbon dioxide concentration is steadily increasing in large cities. Consequently, durability
evaluation of RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures considering carbonation is becoming a …

The stress due to volume change causes cracking in concrete, so that construction joint is
intentionally prepared for an efficient construction and crack controlling in mass concrete …
