Chen, Kequan (author), Knoop, V.L. (author), Liu, Pan (author), Li, Zhibin (author), Wang, Yuxuan (author)The pre-insertion process called anticipation is an essential component of a lane-changing manoeuvre. There is little empirical research regarding the impact of anticipation. Thus, this paper aims to explore the behaviour of the new follower (NF) in the target lane when it encounters anticipation by using new trajectory datasets. The changing...journal article 2023

Liu, C. (author), Liang, X. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Li, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author)In this study, the impacts of tap water immersion on the pore solution, phase assemblages, gel chemistry and structure, and pore structure of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes were studied. AAS degrades under such condition and the potential mechanisms can be concluded as lower reaction rates, gel decomposition and carbonation. The leaching...journal article 2023

Li, Z. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Provis, John L. (author), Cizer, Özlem (author), Ye, G. (author)This paper provides a critical review on autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS). It is reported that AAS paste, mortar, and concrete generally show larger autogenous shrinkage than Portland cement (PC) counterparts. Self-desiccation is the main driving force of the autogenous shrinkage of hardened AAS, but other mechanisms also...review 2023
