The high-strain rate compressive behavior of concrete made with different levels of
substitution and types of coarse aggregate is addressed in the present work. The …

To investigate the effect of interface inclination on the tensile behavior of rock-concrete bi-
material, quasi-static and dynamic splitting tests were conducted on rock-concrete discs. The …

Geopolymer is an alternative binder to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and expanded
polystyrene (EPS) has been used as lightweight aggregates (LWA) to manufacture …

Attributed to the discontinuous configurations and nonhomogeneous mechanical properties
of brick and mortar in masonry wall, the numerical reproduction of the structural responses …

This study investigated the effect of repeated blasting on the stability of surrounding rock
during the construction of a tunnel or city underground engineering. The split Hopkinson …

Compared to ordinary Portland cement-based concrete (OPC), geopolymer concrete (GPC)
is an environmental-friendly construction material because it is mixed by replacing Portland …

The addition of mill scale, an important steel making byproduct, as pigment to fired clay
bricks was investigated, as well as its effects on the physical, mechanical and microstructural …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has attracted much attention over the past decades because it
utilizes industry wastes and has outstanding mechanical properties. To improve its ductility …

As the most fragile component in a bi-material, the performance of the rock-concrete
interface can greatly affect the stability and durability of the concrete structures founded on …

Interlocking bricks could improve construction efficiency, reduce labour cost, and provide
better mechanical performance for masonry structures. Nevertheless, the shear properties of …
