Fires are rare events, but in the case of their occurrence, they can have a significant effect on
the structure. Concrete is a durable noncombustible material but can be damaged by fire …

The microstructural and compositional changes within the cement paste exposed to high
temperatures were monitored by XRD, FTIR, TGA/DTA and SEM techniques to understand …

As a major industrial waste, gangue has significant environmental, economic, and social
benefits when used in the preparation of concrete. The durability and bearing capacity of …

In this paper, a new approach for characterizing material damage, using ultrasonic waves, is
proposed. Two concrete series with two types of cement with different C 3 A content and …

Under specific post-fire curing conditions, concrete regains its material properties along with
the recovery of contact-type defects. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the …

The feasibility of estimation of mechanical properties of limestone concrete after exposure to
high temperatures, using nondestructive methods, was investigated. Experimental study was …

High temperatures impose a negative effect on the mechanical properties of concrete. An
experimental setup designed by the theory of nonlinear resonance vibration, the method of …

In this study, self-healing in concrete incorporating two types of healing agents, ie, 1) a self-
healing capsule and 2) supplementary cementitious materials with crystalline admixtures, is …

Thermally damaged concrete recovers its material properties under specific post-heating
curing conditions. Among the previous studies to investigate the effects of post-heating …

After exposure to high temperature, concrete suffers degradation of its mechanical
properties, such as its mechanical strength and elastic modulus, and these residual …
