A multitude of structural health monitoring options are currently being investigated to
address the reliability of concrete infrastructures at different stages of their service life. This …

With the advent of formwork-free construction technologies like 3D concrete printing,
evaluating early-age shrinkage in cementitious materials has become more critical. This …

A new approach is presented for health monitoring of structures using terrestrial laser
scanning (TLS). Three‐dimensional (3D) coordinates of a target structure acquired using …

Due to the high amount of fines in combination with a low water-to-cement ratio (< 0.35),
high performance mortar and concrete are very prone to cracking as a result of autogenous …

In view of the growing use of High Performance Concrete, with large hydration-induced
volumetric changes (both thermal and shrinkage related), numerical modelling of concrete at …

Techniques that monitor in situ the setting and hardening of calcium aluminate cements
(CACs) are of interest to the engineering community. This paper focuses on one non …

A study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of using phase change materials (PCMs) to
mitigate freeze-thaw deteriorations in concrete pavements. The approach taken in this paper …

The physical properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC) at early-age, ie, the first 24h from
casting, and up to an age of 7 days is investigated experimentally using fibre Bragg gratings …

Concrete is a composite material whose stress history assumes relevance since the early
ages. Soon after concrete casting important exothermic cement hydration reactions take …

Strain measurement is one of the critical procedures in detecting failures and health
monitoring for various structures in the field of civil engineering. This article demonstrates a …
