The scaling of strength across hierarchically structured composite materials is accented by
the presence of defects with distinct morphology and origin appearing within the …

This paper explored an economic, environmental and technological alternative, namely
steam-curing using solar energy, which harnesses solar radiation to accelerate cement …

This paper aims to investigate the effects of replacing cement with ground granulated blast
furnace slag (GGBFS) in self compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The …

The addition of water is used to past by internal post-curing of hardening cement. Hydration
and curing of cementitious are widely identified by non-destructive^ 1H nuclear magnetic …

Gasket is one of the key components in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs),
and the performance of the gasket can directly affect the durability and electrochemical …

The type and particle size of the additions used in SCC influence the setting and early
hardening, modifying hydration speed and the development of initial properties. These …

In order to provide sufficient stability and resistance against bleeding and segregation
during transportation and placing, mineral admixtures are often used in self-compacting …

Experimental investigations on self‐compacting concrete (SCC) under uniaxial monotonic
and cyclic compression taking into account the stochastic constitutive relationship were …

As it is well known, the curing method directly affects many properties of cementitious
composites. In previous studies, the effect of different curing conditions on the properties of …

In this work, a fiber-bundle plastic chain model of rebar-concrete interface under monotonic
and cyclic loading is proposed. Considering the sophisticated mechanical behaviour of the …
