In cold regions, the action of freeze–thaw (FT) cycles is regarded as the main cause of
concrete deterioration. The coupling actions between FT cycles and chemical actions, such …

Water penetration can cause severe performance deterioration and even failure of concrete
constructions through various degradation mechanisms, such as chemical erosion, dry-wet …

This paper presents a multi-scale and multi-chemo-physics platform to evaluate the lifecycle
of structural concrete under environmental and mechanical impacts. Following the scheme …

Self-healing is recognized as a promising technique for increasing the durability of concrete
structures by healing cracks, thereby reducing the need for maintenance activities over the …

A coupling model reflecting the interaction between freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) and alkali-
silica reactions (ASRs) is established from the microscale to the macroscale under the …

Air-entraining agent (AEA) has been used for decades to improve cementitious materials'
freezing–thawing resistance. However, the strength reduction and durability degradation …

In cold regions, concrete structures such as pavements, bridges, and tunnels can undergo
freeze-thaw conditions, which may significantly deteriorate the performance of concrete and …

A large amount of raw coal gangue (RCG) is generated during coal mining, which results in
serious environmental problems and vast land occupation. Considering the similarity …

The use of recycled brick aggregates (RBAs) in concrete could provide sustainable solution
in construction industry by reducing the consumption of natural resources and protecting the …

Air entrainment in cement-based materials is believed to be affected by low air pressure
(AP) which is the atmospheric characteristic in high plateaus, and thus the rheology may be …
