Internal curing is an effective method to reduce the autogenous shrinkage of cementitious
materials. Besides, the increasing in relative humidity (RH) due to the internal curing also …

Aggregate type and mineralogy are critical factors that influence the engineering properties
of concrete. Temperature variations result in internal volume changes could potentially …

In mass concrete, low-heat Portland (LHP) cement is widely used, which calls for a
systematic study of LHP cement concrete's adiabatic temperature rise behaviors to improve …

This study evaluates the impact of the environmental conditions on the moisture-related
shrinkage and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of concrete. The evaluations are …

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is a very important property of cement concrete.
Concrete CTE represents the thermal expansion and/or contraction sensitivity of concrete …

This article presents an experimental testing campaign on large-scale concrete specimens
with cross-sectional areas of up to 1 m2 and a specimen length of 3 m. The primary goal of …

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and contraction (CTC) are critical parameters for
pavement design and thermal analysis. This paper develops a 3-D microstructure-based FE …

This article presents the design of a test device for cryogenic testing of concrete samples.
Cryogenic tests consisted of compression and expansion tests of liquid nitrogen on …

For wider utilization of spherical shaped EAF slag in pavement concrete, a thorough
investigation on the thermal properties of slag concrete is required since the traditional …

The mechanism of air bubbles acting during freezing and thawing cycles considering
various conditions has been studied by many researchers. On the other hand, simulation of …
