Recycled glass has been demonstrated to be a sustainable alternative for sand in concrete,
which can tackle the stockpiling of waste glass and shortage of natural aggregate. However …

The alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is one of the main factors to reduce the durability of
concrete structures. Dam concrete contains very large aggregates, and the influence of …

Due to the remarkable influence of aggregate characteristics on the mechanical behaviors of
concrete materials, and in particular the microcracking development, complex aggregates …

Diagnostic tests were carried out on specimens drilled from a section of jointed, unreinforced
highway pavement after 15 years of service. The section of highway was exposed to heavy …

Aging management and maintenance are essential processes to ensure the safety of
reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in nuclear power plants (NPPs). This is because several …

This study presents a homogenization approach to understand and simulate the
heterogeneous expansion of irregularly shaped aggregate induced by alkali-silica reaction …

The alkali–silica reaction (ASR) starts with the dissolution of silica in alkali-reactive
aggregates. Besides the thermodynamic basics of silica dissolution, kinetic data are needed …

This paper describes the development of a micromechanical-based constitutive model
accounting for the effect of internal expansion on the residual elasticity of a Hashin …

Despite ongoing efforts to prevent the damaging effects of alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in
concrete structures, this phenomenon still exists and causes significant degradation. This …

Damage induced by repetitive freezing and thawing processes is one of the critical factors
that affect concrete durability in cold climates. This deterioration process manifests as …
