It is well established that concrete breaks easily when subjected to tensile loading.
Randomly oriented short discrete fibres that stop or control the start, spread, or coalescence …

Cracks in concrete surfaces occur because of steel bar corrosion in reinforced concrete
marine structures and other infrastructures, such as pavement slabs. Recently, the use of …

Recent research has shown that the incorporation of fibres, such as steel and polypropylene
fibres, in concrete can significantly improve its resistance to spalling under high-temperature …

This study conducted quasi-static compression and splitting tensile tests on steel fiber
reinforced concrete (SFRC), as well as dynamic compression tests using the split Hopkinson …

Technological progress is needed to develop renewable energies. Improvements should be
especially focused on the energy storage element to help correct the mismatch between …

In areas of low and moderate seismicity, a significant number of buildings are constructed
with framed reinforced concrete (RC) structures. These structures are characterised by their …

Due to routine maintenance of aircraft on the concrete pavement at army airbases, a large
part of the pavement surface is often found saturated with different hydrocarbon-based oil …

The impact of aircraft on airport pavements is varied and closely related to their operational
durability. The article presents the impact of the annealing process related to the forced …

Rigid pavements at military airfields experience surface deterioration within 6–18 months of
construction. The cause of this degradation is mainly due to combined exposure to repeated …

This chapter defines alkaline-activated slag cements and concrete (AASCC), focusing on
emphasizing the characteristics and properties induced by ground blast furnace slags as …
