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

Sun, Yubo (author), Ghorbani, Saeid (author), Ye, G. (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Alkali-activated material (AAM) is developed as a green alternative binder to replace Portland cement (PC) in the construction field. However, the large-scale application with AAM concrete is limited so far, with the insufficient knowledge of rheological behavior being a major obstruct. Thixotropy of concrete is of great interest, which can...book chapter 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

Li, Z. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Liang, X. (author), Kostiuchenko, A. (author), Ye, G. (author)Alkali activated concrete (AAC) has not received broader industry acceptance, one reason of which lies in the uncertainties in the durability against shrinkage and potential cracking. Many studies reported that AAC exhibit larger autogenous shrinkage than OPC concrete. However, it is unable to deduce that AAC should show higher cracking...book chapter 2021

Stroeven, P. (author), Le, L.B.N. (author)Porosimetry of matured cementitious materials is of hiigh interest, because durability is governed by the capillary pore network structure. Experimental approaches are time-consuming, laborious and thus expensive. Fast developments in computer technology make it nowadays possible quite realistically producing cementitious materials in virtual...conference paper 2013

Pardo Redondo, G. (author), Naldini, S. (author), Lubelli, B. (author)Historic concrete buildings (end of 19th century – 1960s), because of their “experimental” character, require a specific approach to both survey and conservation. Although they were built with empirical approaches, some buildings show a fair state of conservation and resilience –even though they have already exceeded the 100-year threshold–...conference paper 2021

Onghena, S. (author), Grunewald, S. (author), Schutter, G (author)The effective production of concrete structures requires adequate control of<br/>strength development in order to realise the scheduled production cycles. Demoulding of elements can take place only when sufficient strength is gained and the production cycle has to be maintained with seasonal changes of temperature. The use of Portland Cement...conference paper 2016

Yu, C. (author), Hoogenboom, P.C.J. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Sequentially linear analysis (SLA) is an alternative to the Newton-Raphson method for analyzing the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete and masonry structures. In this paper SLA is extended to load cases that are applied one after the other, for example first dead load and then wind load. It is shown that every nonlinear analysis step can...conference paper 2016

Amir, Sana (author), van der Veen, C. (author), Walraven, J.C. (author), de Boer, Ane (author)A large number of bridges in the Netherlands have transversely post tensioned deck slabs cast in-situ between flanges of precast girders and were found to be critical in shear when evaluated by Eurocode 2. To investigate the bearing (punching shear) capacity of such bridges, a 1:2 scale bridge model was constructed in the laboratory and...conference paper 2023

Esposito, R. (author)The assessment of concrete structures affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a complex problem due to the multiscale nature of this long-term phenomenon. The reaction starts within the concrete constituents with the formation of an expansive alkali-silica gel at reaction products level. Being the expansive gel confined within the concrete...doctoral thesis 2016

Electrochemical lithium migration to mitigate alkali-silica reaction in existing concrete structuresSilva de Souza, L.M. (author)Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a deterioration process that affects the durability of concrete structures worldwide. During the reaction, hydroxyl and alkali ions present in the pore solution react with reactive silica from the aggregate, forming a hygroscopic ASR gel. Alternatively, the silica structure is attacked by hydroxyl ions and the...doctoral thesis 2016
