This paper provides a comprehensive overview of existing experimental and modelling
approaches to determine effective diffusion coefficients of water saturated ordinary Portland …

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) has become one of the most attractive
strategies to achieve self-healing of concrete cracks in recent decades. In order to provide a …

This study evaluates the performance of pervious concrete subjected to rapid freeze–thaw
(FT) cycling, calcium leaching and the combined attack of calcium leaching and FT cycling …

Calcium leaching is one of the essential diseases of cementitious materials and is a time-
varying irreversible process that reduces the structural reliability of concrete. Although some …

High amounts of sulfates are found in the soil of Nazixia area in Qinghai Province, China. As
such, the sulfate attack must be considered for the construction of dams. In this paper, fiber …

In this work, acceleration leaching and three-point bending (TPB) tests were performed on
single-notched TPB beam specimens to explore the evolution of the fracture properties of …

Understanding the microstructures evolution and chloride migration characteristics of
concrete is essential to solve the durability problem of reinforced concrete structures in ultra …

Durability is an important attribute that needs to be focused on during the life span of low-
carbon geopolymer mortar (LCGM). The influence of water content (0.00%, 4.91%, and …

Calcium leaching is one of the major causes of concrete structure failure in soft water
environments. In this study, acceleration leaching and three-point bending (TPB) tests were …

Water conservancy engineering such as dams and canals built with high belite cement
(HBC) concrete for reducing temperature cracks have been running for many years and are …
