Pore Structure of Cement-Based Materials provides a thorough treatment of the
experimental techniques used to characterize the pore structure of materials. The text …

One difficulty in the field use of high-performance concrete is the extensive self-desiccation
and autogenous shrinkage that may occur due to its low water/cement ratio and the addition …

In cold regions, hydraulic concrete structures are vulnerable to freeze–thaw (FT) damage,
which is manifested by the evolution of microstructure in concrete. In order to reveal this …

Low atmospheric pressure (LAP) can enormously affect properties of cement concrete in
plateau areas. There are fewer studies and attendances on this issue than those of cement …

While the strength and durability of high-performance concretes (HPCs) are often greatly
superior to conventional concretes under ambient conditions, their failure is sometimes rapid …

This paper models concrete's resistance to cyclic freeze/thaw using the solution of the
poromechanical problem, which describes the freezing of an individual air void surrounded …

This study investigates the effects of spatial distribution of lightweight aggregates (LWAs) on
internal curing of concrete. As replacements for normal aggregates, different sizes and …

The study reported here characterizes the air-void size distribution in cement-based foam
and examine its influence on thermal conductivity, density, and pozzolanic admixture. The …

In cold regions, understanding the freeze-thaw behavior of air-entrained concrete is
important for designing durable structures and assessing the remaining service life of …

Segmentation procedures of concrete microscopic images and standard test methods
devoted to the spacing factor calculation for the freeze-thaw resistance assessment of …
