Building and infrastructure damages, such as tunnels, have become a more important issue
because of the continuous expansion of rural and urban constructions. It is well-known that …

Spalling of concrete is a great potential threat to fire resistance of concrete structures.
Understanding the underlying mechanism is important to predict and mitigate this …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a novel concrete class characterized by a
compressive strength of more than 150 MPa. One of the most significant drawbacks of …

Designing structures to withstand the effects of fire is challenging, and requires a series of
complex design decisions. This third edition of Fire Safety Engineering Design of Structures …

This paper presents a numerical approach for predicting spalling in concrete structural
members under fire conditions. The proposed approach evaluates spalling by taking into …

Lightweight aggregate high-strength concrete (LWA-HSC) exposed to high temperatures
usually exhibits the poor resistance to the deterioration properties of materials, which would …

When cement-based materials are exposed to the high temperatures induced by fire, which
can rapidly cause temperatures of over 1000° C, the changes in pore structure and density …

This paper provides a" state-of-the-art" review of research into the effects of high
temperature on concrete and concrete structures, extending to a range of forms of …

This paper presents a review of explosive spalling of concrete at elevated temperatures. The
affecting factors, mechanisms and current theoretical and experimental studies are …
