The use of performance-based approaches has been widely discussed with a view to
designing durable concrete structures. This is because the use of strictly prescriptive …

Fully embedded and spatially diffuse sensors are central to the advancement of civil and
construction engineering. Indeed, they serve as an enabling technology necessary for …

The continuous development of the construction industry is also pushing concrete to
change. Lightweight and high-strength concrete is becoming more and more important …

This study investigates the effect of different drying methods on the properties of concrete
subjected to dry-wet cycles. The drying process was simulated using air-drying to mimic sea …

This paper presents the evolutionary characteristics of microstructural hydration and chloride
migration in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The physicochemical interactions of …

Abstract Service life modeling is a relevant tool in the design of durable concrete structures.
Among the service life prediction models, many introduce the so-called concrete aging …

Pretreatment processes on rice husk ash (RHA) influence its properties and in turn, the
performance of concrete. However, most of the available literature captures only the …

In the context of seismic hazard assessment and engineering design, a comprehensive
understanding of local geological and geophysical factors is essential. However, previous …

Geopolymer‐based inorganic coatings provide an effective alternative to conventional
chemical‐based solutions. However, the coatings are not universally applicable, especially …

Electromagnetic radiation is generated naturally or artificially by weapons capable of
affecting the power grid and modern electronic devices; this poses a threat to a nation's …
