Chen, Y. (author), Liang, M. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Li, Z. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author)Autogenous shrinkage may be a critical issue concerning the use of limestone-calcined clay-cement (LC3) in high-performance concrete and 3D printable cementitious materials, which have relatively low water to binder (W/B) ratio. Adding an internal curing agent, i.e., superabsorbent polymer (SAP), could be a viable solution in this context....journal article 2023

Liang, M. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Stress evolution of restrained concrete is directly related to early-age cracking (EAC) potential of concrete, which is a tricky problem that often happens in engineering practice. Due to the global objective of carbon reduction, Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) concrete has become a more promising binder comparing with Ordinary...book chapter 2023

Liang, M. (author), Li, Z. (author), He, S. (author), Chang, Z. (author), Gan, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Stress evolution of restrained concrete is a significant direct index in early-age cracking (EAC) analysis of concrete. This study presents experiments and numerical modelling of the early-age stress evolution of Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) concrete, considering the development of autogenous deformation and creep. Temperature...journal article 2022

Gao, Peng (author), Ye, G. (author), Huang, Haoliang (author), Qian, Zhiwei (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Wei, Jiangxiong (author), Yu, Qijun (author)A structure-based modelling framework was established to simulate the three-dimensional autogenous shrinkage of cement paste. A cement hydration model, HYMOSTRUC3D-E, was used to obtain the microstructures and ionic concentrations of the cement paste. A lattice fracture model based on the effective stress and effective modulus was used to...journal article 2022

Schlangen, E. (author), Liang, M. (author), Šavija, B. (author)The study aims to investigate the mechanism of early-age cracks in different massive concrete structures (i.e. tunnels, bridge foundations and underground parking garages), with the objective of answering the following three specific questions: <br/><br/>1) How does the parameters of concrete proportion mix (e.g. w/c ratio, cementitious...book chapter 2022
