In the present research, Ultra-high Performance Concretes (UHPCs) applying coarse basalt
aggregate with a maximum particle size of 16 mm are designed by using the particle …

Use of fly ash based geopolymer as an alternative binder can help reduce CO2 emission of
concrete. The binder of geopolymer concrete (GPC) is different from that of ordinary Portland …

This study evaluates the efficacy of machine learning (ML) methods to predict the
compressive strength of field-placed concrete. We employ both field-and laboratory …

Concrete is the most used materials in the construction industry known as an environmental
pollutant, posing enormous challenges for sustainability regarding resource depletion …

With the rise in construction costs and aging of existing concrete structures, retrofitting and
strengthening have gained more popularity. Among all of the available techniques, adding …

Granular solid materials are essential for civil engineering projects, but their limited
availability and environmental impacts have resulted in exploring alternatives aligned with …

Crack formation in concrete is one of the main reasons for concrete degradation. Calcium
alginate capsules containing biological self-healing agents for cementitious materials were …

The effect of aggregate size on the interfacial bond behaviour between BFRP sheets and
concrete is investigated in this study by conducting single-lap shear tests. The effect of …

The improvised construction techniques and utilization of industrial wastes in manufacturing
concrete play a major role in sustainability. The artificially manufactured aggregates are …

This paper reports the findings of an experimental study of the shear behavior of reinforced
concrete beams produced using recycled coarse aggregates (RCA). A total of eighteen test …
