The durability of concrete has attracted significant attention over the past several decades
and is still a research hotspot until now. This paper reviews and discusses recent research …

Research on the variability of the properties of recycled aggregate concrete is lacking and is
necessary for the development of reliability analyses and code calibration procedures. This …

In this study, the effect of adding nano-silica (NS) particles on the properties of concrete
containing coal fly ash were explored, including the mechanical properties, impact …

Urea–formaldehyde/Epoxy microcapsule is designed and prepared for the crack recovery of
cementitious materials, using epoxy resin E-51 as a healing agent. The obtained …

This paper aims to contribute with durability studies by monitoring the unsaturated concrete
resistivity over 2 years. Four types of cements commercially used in Brazil were investigated …

Cementitious composites are widely used in the construction industry around the globe.
Nevertheless, these are prone to cracking because of their low tensile strength. The …
