This work aims at evaluating the influence of steel slag as partial replacement of cement on
the mechanical properties and impermeability of cement-based materials under constraint …

Reinforced concrete (RC) members are subject to map cracking owing to the delayed
ettringite formation (DEF) by excessive core temperature during the first few days of …

Titanium gypsum (TG) is a solid waste generated in the sulfate method of TiO 2 production.
The stockpiling of TG causes harmful environmental issues, but TG could be reused for …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are eco-friendly cementitious materials that
can partially replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The occurrence of early-age cracking …

Reducing the radon emission rate on the surface of self-compacting concrete prepared from
industrial solid waste is crucial to lowering the risk of human lung cancer. This study …

This study discusses the mechanism for the changes in the compressive properties of
internally cracked concrete due to expansion phenomena. The internal crack patterns due to …

The long-term resistance of mortar containing fly ash and slag against expansion due to
delayed ettringite formation (DEF) was investigated. DEF expansion of heat-cured mortar …

This study investigates self-compacting concrete (SCC) prepared by substituting ground
granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) with Molybdenum Tailings (MTL) and examines …

The influence of hydraulic pressure (max. 20 MPa) on the internal damage of cement-based
materials is experimentally studied. In order to observe in situ the internal damage of cement …

Brittle fracture of stirrups, due to effects such as diseased concrete expansion, is frequently
reported and poses a potential threat to the load-bearing performance of structures. The …
