The solution of a technical problem is in many cases potentially available however probably somewhat hidden in the literature. At least, research engineers in concrete technology have the tendency not to search for it but to come up with their own ideas. Unfortunately, not always ...
Realistically simulating fresh and hardening cementitious materials renders possible understanding controversial issues existing in the field of concrete technology. The experimental studies on the impact of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) on permeability of concrete reveal ...
The interfacial transition zones (ITZs) are supposed to promote fluid transport through concrete. As a consequence, one would expect an increase in permeability with an increasing aggregate fraction. This has been shown in some experiments, however, the opposite effect is observe ...

In this study, a numerical approach developed in our group is used to assess the permeability of partially saturated cement paste based on a discrete element modelling (DEM) technique. The relationship between saturation degree and permeability is found to be in good agreement wi ...
Although an earlier developed numerical methodology for permeability estimation of cement pastes can provide satisfactory results in comparison with experiments, it would be of engineering interest to find a simpler way to perform the same task. This method referred to by “the sh ...

To assess durability of cement-based materials, permeability is commonly considered as an important indicator. It is defined as the rate of movement of an agent (liquid or gas) through the porous medium under an applied pressure. Although permeability can be directly measured in ...
To assess the pore size of virtual cementitious materials, the star volume method (SVM) can be considered an effective tool. Unfortunately, the SVM requires a large number of plane sections in each of the very large number of random points, resulting in a time-consuming and expen ...
Finds and ideas with a surprising element similar to the playful inventions of Heron of Alexandria, after whom this journal is named@en
A quick approach to estimate water permeability of virtual cement paste is outlined in this paper. Although the computational models developed by the authors are able to provide satisfactory results in comparison with experimental data, it is still interesting and meaningful to f ...
