This study aims to provide a better understanding of the autogenous shrinkage of slag and
fly ash-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) cured at ambient temperature. The main …

In this study, internal curing by superabsorbent polymers (SAP) is utilized to mitigate self-
desiccation and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes. Absorption and …

The combined use of fine and coarse recycled aggregates in the manufacture of concrete
has multiple advantages from the economic and environmental points of view. There is a …

This study investigates the influences of internal curing on reducing the autogenous
shrinkage of alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) paste. The influences of internal curing with …

Sensing techniques based on accelerometers for modal parameters identification are
among the most studied and applied in Structural Health Monitoring of civil structures. The …

The design of concrete structures is based on calculation rules, which often do not take into
account the very early age behaviour of the material. However, during this period, structural …

This paper presents a dynamic method of concrete testing using Young's modulus. The
advantages of the method are compared with the static method and the possibilities of …

In NSM-CFRP installations, the mechanical behaviour of the strengthening system is
strongly influenced by the epoxy adhesive, particularly at early ages. In the present work, the …

In this work, an energy-based method was used to derive the correlation between concrete
shear modulus and torsional frequency of free slab based on first-order torsional mode …

In this study, glass wool waste was utilized by means of alkali-activation with blast furnace
slag. Reaction kinetics, workability, mechanical properties and autogenous shrinkage of …
