Pargar, F. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)One of the reported problems associated with the performance of Ag/AgCl electrodes in alkaline environment, as concrete pore water, has been their poor stability. Open circuit potentials are typically observed to be stable for a time period of a few minutes to some days depending on the thickness and microstructure of the sparingly soluble AgCl...conference paper 2014

Ukrainczyk, N. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)A multi-scale characterisation of the transport process within cementitious microstructure possesses a great challenge in terms of modelling and schematization. In this paper a numerical method is proposed to mitigate the resolution problems in numerical methods for calculating effective transport properties of porous materials using 3D digital...conference paper 2012

Susanto, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)This paper investigates DC current-induced “curing” and ageing phenomena in cement-based materials. Two current densities were used in a DC current regime i.e. mortar cubes were subjected to DC current flow of 1 A/m2 and 100 mA/m2; tap water and calcium hydroxide were external environment. Conditioning (“curing”) was performed for 112 days,...conference paper 2014

Susanto, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author)Stray current is essentially an electrical current “leakage” from metal conductors and electrical installations. When it flows through cement-based systems, electrical energy is converted to thermal energy that causes increasing temperature due to Joule heating phenomena. The aim of this paper is to shed light on the influence of electrical...conference paper 2014

Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)This work reports on the corrosion resistance of steel in alkaline model solutions and in cement-based materials (mortar). The model solutions and the mortar specimens were Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based. Further, hereby discussed is the implementation of an eco-friendly approach of waste utilization for corrosion control and/or achieving...conference paper 2012

Leon Fuenmayor, E.J. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Jonkers, H.M. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author), Terryn, H. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Impressed current cathodic protection (CP) based on pulse technology has been proven to be a more efficient and effective alternative of traditional CP for reinforced concrete applications. Essentially, the superiority of pulse CP is in achieving the required steel polarization with otherwise reduced side effects (e.g. influence on bond strength...conference paper 2013

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

Ukrainczyk, N. (author), Koenders, E.A.B. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)The prospect of cement and concrete technologies depends on more in depth understanding of cement hydration reactions. Hydration reaction models simulate the development of the microstructures that can finally be used to estimate the cement based material properties that influence performance and service life. In this paper the multicomponent...conference paper 2012

Qian, Z. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Cracking in cement-based materials is usually not easy to predict, because of the complexity of their microstructures. Concrete is a composite material of mortar and coarse aggregates, and mortar consists of cement paste and sands. The fracture processes in these materials are related, and this paper aims to reveal the relationship by developing...conference paper 2012

Yu, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author), Chen, W. (author)Deterioration of microstructure in cement concrete will cause changes in the transport properties of the concrete. Transport properties at different ages of the concrete provide information about the microstructural changes of the material. A way to measure the transport properties, i.e. the chloride diffusion coefficient, in the laboratory is...conference paper 2014

Van Breugel, K. (author), Van Tuan, N. (author)Ultra High Strength Concrete (UHPC) is generally made with low w/c mixtures and by adding silica fume. Low w/c mixtures, however, exhibit high autogenous shrinkage, while a high amount of silica fume increases the price of these mixtures. For designing ultra high strength mixtures with low autogenous shrinkage and lower costs the possibility of...conference paper 2014

Susanto, A. (author), Koleva, D.A. (author), Van Beek, C. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Well known is that stray electrical current i.e. current with a spatial distribution in any conductive environment, can affect civil structures, e.g. initiate or enhance steel corrosion or affect microstructural and mechanical properties of the cement-based bulk matrix. While the former is related to polarization effects in conditions of current...conference paper 2013

Agar Ozbek, A.S. (author), Weerheijm, J. (author), Schlangen, H.E.J.G. (author), Van Breugel, K. (author)Porous concrete is used in many applications that require permeability, noise absorption or thermal insulation. However, its response under dynamic loading is generally not considered. Porous concrete has a characteristic of forming multiple cracks and subsequently fracturing into small fragments when exposed to impact loading. Therefore, with...conference paper 2013
