This paper evaluates the performances of expansive concrete containing fly ashes. In this
study, both standard fly ashes and substandard fly ash are used as a cement replacing …

Expansion of concrete due to expansive additives (EAs) is greatly affected by the degree of
external restraints in the form of reinforcements and supports. Furthermore, the presence of …

Several standards have been used as guidelines for expansive concrete design. However,
all of these standards still do not consider several factors that affect the level of expansion …

Expansive additives in higher dosages induce chemical prestress in concrete by imparting
higher early-age expansion. However, induced stress and concrete expansion can vary …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the effect of the restrained
condition on the mechanical properties, frost resistance, and carbonation resistance of …

The tension stiffening effect of chemically prestressed concrete (CPC) under uniaxial tension
was experimentally investigated and compared with those of reinforced concrete (RC). A …

Expansion properties of concrete with expansive additives (EAs) are dependent on the
composition of the EAs and the nature of the external restraints. This study focuses on …

Concrete is one of the most widely used materials in the world; however, several
pathological manifestations can be associated with the design, execution, and selection of …

This paper investigates the strain behavior of normal concrete and expansive concrete used
in three different newly constructed reinforced concrete structures, ie, slabs, water tank walls …

Shrinkage is a phenomenon of concrete which occurs from the volume reduction mainly due
to combined effects of drying shrinkage which is caused by loss of moisture to the …
