Concrete is a unique composite material that is porous and highly heterogeneous. The
durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments is of great interest to design …

The recovery of concrete by post-fire-curing is non-negligible in assessing the residual
properties of concrete after the fire or similar hazardous disasters. This paper reviewed the …

All mechanical properties of a porous medium depend upon its fractal dimensions, however,
how to measure the fractal dimensions is still an open issue. This paper adopts the two …

Foaming agent is an indispensable component in preparation of foam concrete by using
prefabricated foams. In this study, four types of foaming agents were used to prepare foam …

In this study, the effects of foam content as well as fly ash and silica fume inclusion on some
physical and mechanical properties of foam concrete, subjected to various curing regimes …

In this study, in situ strength of concrete was determined through compression test of cores
drilled out from laboratory cast beams. The apparent porosity and pore size distribution of …

Although many inorganic fillers have been explored as supplementary cementitious
admixtures, there is limited exploration into role of porous biochar, prepared from …

The pore structure of cementitious material, predetermined by its porosity, permeability and
pore size distribution, is a very important characteristic as it influence the properties of the …

The pore structure is the fatal factor which influences the strength of cement mortar and
concrete. A lot of researches on the relationship between the strength and the pore structure …

Foamed concretes are composed of cement or mortar mixed with small size foams (0.1–1
mm). They exhibit good thermal insulation properties that are suitable for the insulating …
