Carbonation has been proven to be a promising way to improve the mechanism properties and durability of steel slag products. CA bacteria can promote the hydration of CO2. In this study, one kind of alkali-resistant CA bacteria was chosen to investigate its effects on the carbonation process of γ-C2S. Results showed that bacteria could increase...

Alkali activated materials (AAMs) have received worldwide attention due to its lower embodied energy and environmental impact than that of traditional cementitious materials. However, the activators with high alkalinity may raise the risk of alkali silica reaction (ASR) induced deterioration when reactive aggregates are used, which thereby...

Magnesium ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) has been commonly applied in civil engineering. However, the analysis of hydration behavior and composition of solid assemblages still needs further exploration. From thermodynamic simulation, it is shown that the molar ratio between MgO and NH4H2PO4 (M/P ratio) determines the final composition of...

The structure of concrete, in particular the microstructure of the steel-concrete interface (SCI), can significantly affect corrosion of rebars. To support corrosion, oxygen needs to diffuse from the ambient environment to the steel surface. Meanwhile, corrosion products transport through the SCI and precipitate in concrete. Transport properties...

This paper develops an empirical model to predict the static yield stress of 3D printing mortar based on the flowability of paste and excess paste thickness. The components of the mortar are divided into paste and aggregate. The relation between the yield stress of mortar and the yield stress of paste and the excess paste thickness is...

The use of simulation techniques is not foreign to information retrieval. In the past, simulation has been employed, for example, for constructing test collections and for model performance prediction and analysis in a broad array of information access scenarios. Nevertheless, a standardized methodology for performance evaluation via...

In the past decade, observations in the German estuaries such as the rivers Elbe and Weser show increasingly serious damage to bank protection structures (groins and revetments). This damage is caused mainly by waves induced by the passing of big container ships in the shallow and narrow maritime waterways. These ship-induced 3D wave fields...

Traditionally, Chinese migrant workers are housed in dormitories or in the private rental sector. In recent years, however, an increasing proportion of the migrant workers has managed to become home owners. This paper further analyzes this trend, which may signify a new phase in the Chinese urbanization process. After a review of the existing...

Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) is a gradient-free direct policy search method, which has greater stability and is insensitive to hyperparameter tuning. CEM bears similarity to population-based evolutionary methods, but, rather than using a population it uses a distribution over candidate solutions (policies in our case). Usually, a natural...

Green’s functions in an unknown medium can be retrieved from single-sided reflection data by solving a multidimensional Marchenko equation. This methodology requires knowledge of the direct wavefield throughout the medium, which should include forward-scattered waveforms. In practice, the direct field is often computed in a smooth background...

Alkali activated slag (AAS) has shown promising potential to replace ordinary Portland cement as a binder material. Synthesized from industrial by-products, AAS can show high strength, thermal resistance and good durability. However, AAS has been reported to exhibit high autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage is a critical issue for building...

An important input parameter for numerical models that simulate cracking of the concrete cover due to reinforcement corrosion is the Elastic modulus of corrosion product (Ecp). Despite its relevance, Ecp is subject of significant variations according to the values reported in the literature, which vary from less than 100 MPa up to 360 GPa....

In recent years, the rapid industrialization and urbanization led to the explosive growth of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ashes (BA) production. However, most of them are directly landfilled, which not only brings environmental burden but also results in loss of potential resources. Present researches have proved that MSWI BA...

Properties of concrete are, to a large extent, dependent on the properties of its binding constituent, hydrated cement paste. Therefore, knowledge of properties of hydrated cement paste is crucial for predicting concrete behaviour. This paper presents an experimentally informed approach for modelling elastic and transport properties of cement...

People spend around 90% of their time indoors, where they are exposed to various physical stressors, such as unpleasant sounds, odours, temperature, and lighting, which may cause annoyance and discomfort. This literature review is focused on substantial studies that emphasize noise as a physical stressor in the indoor environment. Previous...

Under current pandemic of COVID-19, children are still spending long hours in school classrooms every day. A literature study is therefore conducted to investigate the current ventilation strategies used in schools and assess their performance of controlling contagious respiratory diseases in the indoor environment, and also to seek for future...

Acoustic Emission (AE)-based crack tracking is a promising approach to locate cracks in concrete structures. Different from conventional AE, this approach uses AE activities during crack closure. But, AE activities during crack closure may be influenced by the number of load cycles and loading speed. This may challenge the applicability of AE...

Proof load testing can be an interesting method to assess existing bridges for which analytical methods are unable to provide an accurate assessment. In a proof load test, a load representative of the factored live load is applied to the bridge. If the bridge can carry this load without distress, the proof load test is success-ful, and the...

We propose two end-to-end neural configurations for language diarization on bilingual code-switching speech. The first, a BLSTM-E2E architecture, includes a set of stacked bidirectional LSTMs to compute embeddings and incorporates the deep clustering loss to enforce grouping of languages belonging to the same class. The second, an XSA-E2E...
