Steam curing involves a complex moisture-thermal coupling process, which greatly affects
the performance evolution of cement-based materials. The effects of mineral admixtures and …

The stiffness of cementitious materials decreases with increasing temperature. Herein,
macroscopic samples of mature cement pastes are subjected at 20, 30, and 45° C …

A comprehensive experimental program on the mechanical, hygral and thermal behavior of
a modern wet mix shotcrete is presented. The present part I deals with the evolution of the …

Early-age cracking risk induced by autogenous deformation is high for cementitious
materials of low water-binder ratios. The autogenous deformation, viscoelastic properties …

This study investigates the development of elastic and creep properties of sodium hydroxide-
activated blast furnace slag mortar, utilizing three different molarities of the activator solution …

Abstract The use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) or industrial wastes as a
partial replacement for cement in the production of concrete is an urgent need in the …

This paper presents the results of a European benchmark on multiscale creep modeling for
cementitious materials, performed in the framework of the COST Action TU1404 “Towards …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the short-term creep recovery of
cement paste at micrometre length scale. Micro-cantilever beams were fabricated and tested …

Based on the principle of virtual power, equilibrium conditions are established for the forces
within a cross section of a tunnel top heading driven according the New Austrian Tunneling …

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) slabs in residential buildings need additional weight, eg, in
the form of screeds or gravel layers, to fulfill the criterion for the highest impact-sound class …
