Due to the intrinsic low reactivity of bottom ash (BA), it is not typically used as a direct
substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). In this study, a BA-OPC composite was …

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of air-coupled surface-wave techniques for
the evaluation of crack-repairing (filling) progress in concrete. Experimental tests were …

Formulating a mix design for 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is challenging, as it involves an
iterative approach, wasting a lot of resources, time, and effort to optimize the mix for strength …

Previous research revealed that wave interferometry can be more effective than existing
ultrasonic techniques in monitoring the strength development of early-age concrete. To …

The addition of metakaolin to Portland cement (PC) can increase chloride binding but is
vulnerable to carbonation. The durability issues against such a coupled effect remain …

Although clinker has been used for many years, complicated mineralogical properties of
clinker pose challenges for the precise quantification. In this study, the mineralogical and …

This study investigates the effectiveness of two widely used non-destructive assessment
techniques–rebound hardness and ultrasonic pulse velocity–in evaluating the in-place …

This study aims to develop a damage-detection algorithm based on the electromagnetic
wave properties inside a reinforced concrete structure. The proposed method involves …

There are 12 ponds in the Jonava district territory and 3 ponds in the Rukla military base
territory. All dams in the district were built in 1978–1989 for irrigation, recreation, fisheries …

There are a few hydraulic structures in Lithuania where reinforced concrete structures are
used. The technical state of reinforced concrete structures is varying. Several structures …
