This study aims to understand the effect of different cold joint angles on splitting tensile and
compressive strength of concrete. A series of tests were conducted in the context of this …

Introduction: Construction joint is common and even inevitable in most of the reinforcement
concrete structures. This study was to assess the effect of construction joints on chloride …

Cold joints, formed due to interruptions in the concrete placement process, significantly
impact the mechanical behavior of concrete structures. This study comprehensively …

The Lapindo hot mud in Sidoarjo, Indonesia (Lusi) has caused a detrimental effect on the
environment and the community for more than 10 years. On the bright side, the waste mud …

The layer bonding performance of hydraulic engineered cementitious composites (HECCs)
plays an important role in their application in hydraulic buildings. This performance …

Adhesion plays an important role in the evaluation of hydraulic structures with unreinforced
