Understanding the early-age behaviour of concrete is of importance for designing durable
concrete structures. To contribute to the improvement of this, a hygro-thermo-chemo …

Long-term creep prediction has been a major issue of concern in designing concrete
structures for some time. Many researchers have developed various models in order to …

With the societal demand for sustainability and the increasing age of infrastructure, a crucial
task for the civil engineering community is to improve the durability of concrete structures …

Shotcrete is sprayed concrete applied pneumatically under high pressure and was invented
in the beginning of the 1900's. Soon after, attempts were made to use shotcrete to support …

Five two-dimensional steady-state general solutions for isotropic hygrothermoelastic media
are established in this article. Firstly, four general solutions which are expressed in one …

To better cope with the problem of large-scale concrete cracking in the tunnel through the
lake, high-performance dual-grating temperature-strain sensors are used to monitor the …

The paper presents the two-dimensional model of Portland cement curing based on the
finite element method. The cement curing lasts for 2 days in the temperature gradient …

Mutations are an essential evolutionary force for all living organisms on Earth. They occur at
random and can be on the scale of nucleotides of chromosomes, or of genomes …
