Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) is recognised as a novel sustainable construction material to
substitute Portland cement concrete with superior thermal and mechanical performance …

Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

With the rapid development of transportation and population growth, there is a surge hike in
demand for automobile tires. Waste rubber disposal has become a big environmental …

This research examines the properties of ultra-high-performance (UHPC) and heavyweight
radiation shielding concrete (UHPHSC). Several types of heavy-weight fine aggregates …

Laminated bamboo and bamboo scrimber are value-added engineered forms of bamboo
produced in standard shape and size, with better physical and mechanical characteristics …

Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) has gained increasing interest in recent years due to its
superior mechanical properties compared to normal concrete. To apply FRC in civilian and …

To retrofit a fire damaged structural element, it is important to understand the extent of
thermal exposure of such structural element. It is presumed that the extent of damage of fire …

The provision of appropriate fire-safety measures is a basic need in building design to
guarantee the safety of its occupants. Damage due to fire is one of the most destructive …

Concrete material in structures is likely exposed to high temperatures during fire. The
relative properties of concrete after such an exposure are of great importance in terms of the …

This paper investigated the mechanical properties and elevated temperature resistance of
sisal fibers and steel fibers hybridization reinforced ultra-high performance concrete …
