Sun, Y. (author), Chen, B. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Blom, C.B.M. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)With the development of waste recovery techniques, previous research has revealed that coarse fractions of municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash (BA) after proper treatment could be applied in the construction sector, while the fines are seldom recovered in practice and normally landfilled. This study explores the potential...journal article 2024

Zhang, Shizhe (author), Ye, G. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Hendrik, H. (author), Scharringa, A. (author)In Nederland wordt veel aandacht besteed aan geopolymeerbeton als een van de mogelijkheden om de CO₂-voetafdruk van beton te verlagen. Hoewel dit materiaal op laboratoriumschaal uitgebreid is onderzocht, zijn praktische toepassingen en ervaringen nog maar beperkt beschikbaar. Bovendien bestaan er voor een brede en grootschalige constructieve...journal article 2022

Sun, Yubo (author), Chen, B. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Blom, Kees (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)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...conference paper 2021

Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Infrastructure is ageing and we are facing a serious challenge on how to deal with it. One possible solution is to repair it, but the life of current concrete repairs, including all types of repairs and application of different materials, is not satisfactory and there is an urgent need for improvement. Understanding the damage development in a...conference paper 2019

Chen, B. (author), Sun, Yubo (author), Jacquemin, Loic (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Blom, Kees (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)At present, most municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash, as being disposed of as waste, is directly landfilled, raising concern about the environmental issue and potential loss of resources. Given that the natural raw materials used for cement production are being depleted, the recycling of MSWI bottom ash for the application as...conference paper 2019

Prinsse, S. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), Ye, G. (author), Lagendijk, P. (author), Lukovic, M. (author)This paper presents an experimental study on the development of material properties over time (up to around 2 years) and the structural behavior of reinforced beams, for two types of alkali-activated concrete (AAC). Compressive strength, flexural strength, tensile splitting strength, elastic modulus, and flexural behavior of reinforced beams...journal article 2019

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Lukovic, M. (author), van Breugel, K. (author), Hordijk, D.A. (author), Ye, G. (author)This paper presents a development of a ductile alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) based composite as an environmentally friendly material for structural concrete application. For this purpose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibres and sand aggregate were combined with alkali-activated paste. Workability,...journal article 2018

Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)In concrete repair systems, material properties in the repair material and interface are greatly influenced by the initial moisture content of the concrete (or mortar) substrate. In order to quantify moisture profiles inside the repair system, X-ray absorption was used. Preliminary studies are performed first to determine the absorption rate of...journal article 2017

Lukovic, M. (author), Šavija, B. (author), Ye, G. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), van Breugel, K. (author)Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the main cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. It can result in cracking and spalling of the concrete cover. After the damaged cover is repaired, reinforcement corrosion might continue and even accelerate. While the development of the corrosion cell is difficult to control, the damage can...journal article 2017

Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)In concrete repair systems, material properties of the repair material and the interface are greatly influenced by the moisture exchange between the repair material and the substrate. If the substrate is dry, it can absorb water from the repair material and reduce its effective water-to-cement ratio (w/c). This further affects the hydration rate...journal article 2015
