Lukovic, M. (author), Savija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ye, G. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Differential shrinkage between repair material and concrete substrate is considered to be the main cause of premature failure of repair systems (Martinola, Sadouki et al. 2001, Beushausen and Alexander 2007). Magnitude of induced stresses depends on many factors, for example the amount of restraint, moisture gradients caused by different curing...conference paper 2014

Dong, H. (author), Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author)Many types of healing agents have been investigated. These agents are processed in different ways, such as adhesive polymer in capsules or hollow fibre glasses, bacteria in porous aggregates and geo-materials directly incorporated in the cementbased materials. In this study, sodium silicate powder is encapsulated in polystyrene particles ...conference paper 2013

Qiu, Xiujiao (author), Chen, Jiayi (author), Ye, Guang (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)ASR (alkali-silica reaction) is one of the toughest durability problems in engineering. However, the damage induced by ASR is still fairly unpredictable due to the lack of microstructural information of cement-based materials affected by ASR, while the microstructure determines the global performance. In order to fill this gap, a multiscale...conference paper 2021

(author), Ramadurai, V. (author)This paper describes a device capable of performing the following tasks: it samples and decodes the composite video analog TV signal, it encodes the resulting RGB data into a MPEG-4 stream and sends it over a WiMAX link. On the other end of the link a similar device receives the WiMAX signal, in either TDD or FDD mode, decodes the MPEG data and...conference paper 2007

Ye, Q. (author), Schrijer, F.F.J. (author), Scarano, F. (author)Transitional flow over isolated roughness elements is investigated in the incompressible flow regime using Tomographic PIV. Three different geometries are considered (micro-ramp, cylinder and square) with same height and span. Their effect on accelerating boundary layer transition is compared and discussed. The measurement domain encompasses the...conference paper 2015

Zhang, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)The pressure to reach sustainability favours the development of ternary composite cement. The synergistic effect on mechanical behaviour at 28 days between limestone powder (LP) and pozzolanic additives, i.e. fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS), has been documented. In order to better understand the synergistic effect, this article...conference paper 2012

Huang, H. (author), Ye, G. (author), Damidot, D. (author)In this paper, the proposed coupled transport-reaction model adapted to simulate autogenous self-healing in Portland cement paste is validated with the experimental results. The parameters are studied for modelling the dissolution of cement, the diffusion of ions between the solution in the crack and in the bulk paste and the precipitation of...conference paper 2014

Patel, R.A. (author), Perko, J. (author), Jacques, D. (author), De Schutter, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Ye, G. (author)Calcium leaching is one of the important degradation mechanisms causing dissolution of the crystalline phases such as, AFm, portlandite increasing capillary porosity. Further it leads to decalcification of an amorphous C-S-H phase causing increase in the gel porosity and in turn degrading the long term performance of concrete structures. In this...conference paper 2014

Qian, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Concrete is a composite construction material, which is composed primarily of coarse aggregates, sands and cement paste. The fracture processes in concrete are complicated, because of the multiscale and multiphase nature of the material. In the past decades, comprehensive effort has been put to study the cracks evolution in concrete, both...conference paper 2012

Ye, Q. (author), Taheri, M. (author), Van Geenhuizen, M.S. (author)Open innovation is well conceptualized and researched for large established firms, but not for small and young ones. What makes small high-technology firms more open in search behaviour and innovation and others more closed, has remained largely unknown. This particularly holds true for university spin-off firms. The paper fills this gap and...conference paper 2012

(author)Salt marshes are distributed along more than 400 km of the Jiangsu coast in Eastern China, which are regarded as important habitats and serve as coastal protection as well. Previous research has proven that salt-marsh vegetation can reduce current velocity and dampen waves by its stems and leaves. Reversely, hydrodynamic forces also have a...conference paper 2011

Zhang, Y. (author), Ye, G. (author)Concrete is seldom saturated due to its self-desiccation. Even the submerged concrete structures may remain unsaturated for quite a long time. It has been reported the saturation level of pore solution has significant effect on species penetration. However, very little work was proposed regarding the transport properties and serviceability of...conference paper 2014

However, the influence of this parameter has been subject for debates in recent years. The effect of concrete surface roughness is not quite clear, nor there exist a clear relation between the surface roughness...conference paper 2013
