The durability of underwater and hydraulic concrete structures is highly dependent on their
moisture content, which makes the evaluation of moisture contents of great significance in …

The technology of piezoceramic based smart aggregates (SAs) has demonstrated its
potential in the comprehensive monitoring of concrete structures. However, its usage in the …

It is important to predict the long-term deformation of steel reinforced concrete (SRC)
columns especially for high-rise buildings. This research aims to modify the existing creep …

It is essential to predict the long-term deformation of partially enclosed steel reinforced
concrete (PSRC) columns employed extensively in modern high-rise buildings. This study …

A computational model is developed for predicting nonuniform internal relative humidity
distribution in concrete. Internal relative humidity distribution is known to have a direct effect …

A crack caused by shrinkage could remarkably increase the permeability, heavily deteriorate
the durability, and heavily deteriorate the service life of a concrete structure. However …

Concrete deformation due to temperature and moisture condition will always develop
simultaneously and interactively. The environmentally (hygral and thermally) induced stress …

Moisture variation significantly affects the strength and volume characteristics of soils. One of
the barriers to implementing the stiffness-based quality assurance during construction is the …

Long-term deformation of a steel-reinforced concrete (SRC) column is different from that of a
reinforced concrete (RC) column due to the different moisture distribution. Wide-flange steel …
