Concrete, as the most widely used construction material, is inextricably connected with
human development. Despite conceptual and methodological progress in concrete science …

Although ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has attracted great attention from
researchers owing to its outstanding mechanical and durability performance, it has only a …

The literature on concrete creep and shrinkage is vast and scattered over many media. A
host of books have already been devoted to this subject. Some are valuable compilations of …

The first large worldwide database of creep and shrinkage tests was assembled at
Northwestern University (NU) in 1978. It was expanded as the RILEM database in 1992 and …

In response to the continuously advancing concrete technology, a new prediction model for
creep and shrinkage is presented. This model, named B4, builds on the theoretically justified …

This study investigates the shrinkage of two sustainable aluminosilicate blends with fly ash
or limestone-calcined clay (LC3). Paste and concrete were prepared using these SCMs for …

Although machine learning algorithms to predict the mechanical properties of concrete have
been studied extensively, most of the research focused on the prediction of the strength of …

The shrinkage prediction part of Model B4 presented in the preceding paper is here
statistically justified by optimal fitting of the new NU database containing 1050 test curves …

This work is investigating restrained shrinkage induced early age cracking of limestone
calcined clay (LC) blended concrete and mortar. A series of ring tests was conducted on LC …

The ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) mixed with normal coarse aggregate is a
promising material due to its excellent mechanics, durability performance and relatively …
