The freeze–thaw durability of concrete is an important factor for determining the service life
of concrete in cold regions. This overview expounds three stages of freeze–thaw damage in …

Frost resistance is an important factor that can affect the durability of structural concrete. This
paper reviews previous studies on freeze-thaw resistance of concrete from the mechanism …

Fracture energy, non-destructive testing, some physical and mechanical tests and
microstructural investigations were performed on 18-month 0.7 V%, 1.3 V% and 2.0 V% PVA …

Establishing an effective method to enhance the adhesion of mortar on recycled concrete
aggregate (RCA) is key to the utilization of RCA. In this paper, a novel and simple approach …

In the present work the rheological, thermo-mechanical, microstructural, and wetting
characteristics of cement mortars with recycled expanded polystyrene (EPS) were analyzed …

The physicochemical properties of a self-developed, waterborne, saline-based hydrophobic
agent and the chloride resistance of concrete treated with the waterborne hydrophobic agent …

The use of different technologies have contributed to the increase in durability facing the
aggressive agents that damage the concrete structures. Therefore, it is possible to reduce …

Impact treatment methods that increase surface roughness usually cause near-to-surface
damage to concrete. Quantitative analysis of this damage on the bond strength is rare. In this …

Concrete structures undergo different forms of damage during their service life. The aim of
this study is to identify the most common forms of concrete damage in field conditions. A …

Excess-sulphate phosphogypsum slag plastering Mortar (EPSPM) is vulnerable to
carbonization, thus reducing surface stabilities. This paper proposes a modification method …
