Sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) has been pitched as a feasible supplement that can ease
the sustainability issues associated with cementitious materials. In this respect, SCBA has …

This paper is a bibliographic tool reviewing experimental and theoretical studies related to
cement hydration and microstructure development that have been published within the four …

This paper presents an extensive experimental study to investigate the possibility of using
sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA) as a partial replacement of cement in ordinary, lightweight …

Mechanical and durability properties of mortars containing mineral admixtures were
analysed. Mortar mixtures were prepared with a water-to-cementitious materials ratio of 0.60 …

This study focused on the effect of antifreeze additives on the microstructural changes and
physical and mechanical properties of fresh concrete subjected to freezing–thawing cycles …

Developing non-destructive methods (NDT) that can deliver faster and more accurate results
is an objective pursued by many researchers. The purpose of this paper is to present a new …

There is a growing interest at an international level in non-destructive testing of cement
based materials, such as: impact-echo, pulse-echo, ultrasonic pulse velocity, wave …

The use of ambient vibration tests to characterize the evolution of E-modulus of concrete
right after casting is investigated in this paper. A new methodology is proposed, which starts …

This study aimed to experimentally examine the physical properties and non-destructive
properties of cementitious composites for different hybrid basalt and PVA fiber contents. The …

As concrete structures age, concrete quality tends to deteriorate for reasons which include
frost damage, acid attack, sulphate attack, fire damage or as a result of bad construction …
