complex temperature histories and restraint conditions jeopardizes the structure's safety and …

Air-entrained concrete has been extensively used in bridges and water conservancy
projects in cold regions. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of air …

Thermal and autogenous deformations of high-performance concrete at early ages have
significant impact on the performance, serviceability, and durability of concrete structures …

It is well known that the air-void structure of hardened concrete has substantial effects on the
mechanical properties and durability of concrete. In this study, laboratory evaluations were …

Internal curing with superabsorbent polymers (SAP) can help lower early-age cracking risk
of high performance concrete, by reducing both autogenous shrinkage and thermal strain. In …

Aggregate type and mineralogy are critical factors that influence the engineering properties
of concrete. Temperature variations result in internal volume changes could potentially …

It is well known that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) has substantial effects on
behavior and performance of concrete structures. In this study, a time-dependent variation of …

This study experimentally investigated the effect of moisture content on the piezoresistive
responses of carbon nanotube (CNT)-embedded cementitious composites. In an …

Laboratory evaluations were performed to investigate the effect of internal curing (IC) by
superabsorbent polymers (SAP) on the internal relative humidity (IRH), autogenous …

The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is a very important property of cement concrete.
Concrete CTE represents the thermal expansion and/or contraction sensitivity of concrete …
