Concrete structures have emerged as some of the most extensively utilized materials in the
construction industry due to their inherent plasticity and high-strength characteristics …

This study mainly investigates the effects of binder content, water to binder (w/b) ratio,
activator dosage, and sodium silicate to sodium hydroxide (SS/SH) ratio on uniaxial …

Microcapsule-mediated self-repair of concrete represents an attractive method to improve
the durability of concrete. However, it is quite challenging to timely and controllably trigger …

When stress in concrete exceeds certain threshold value, microcracks are nucleated, these
microcracks can propagate and coalesce forming macrocracks, resulting in the gradual …

Debonding in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened RC structures might
always carry the risk of structural collapse. Several studies have focused on the debonding …

Grasping the temporal-spatial evolution of damage inside mechanically loaded structure
contributes to providing essential information for engineering safety monitoring. Active …

Wave-based concrete structural health monitoring has attracted much attention. A stress
wave experiences significant attenuation in concrete, however there is a lack of a unified …

Thermal damage in concrete usually induces contact-type defects, which result in
degradation of the concrete's performance. This paper attempts to visualize the thermal …

This study attempts to visualize the thermal damage on a multiscale level and characterize
the thermal damage and compressive strength of concrete using ultrasonic pulse velocity …

Ultrasonic nondestructive technique was used to assess the thermal degradation in a nickel-
based superalloy in this research. Thermal exposure tests were carried out at an elevated …
