Additively manufactured steel reinforcement for small scale reinforced concrete modeling: Tensile and bond behavior

Small scale (1:30-1:40) Reinforced Concrete is useful for centrifuge testing. However, manufacturing the reinforcing cages by hand at this scale is practically difficult. This paper suggests that small scale reinforcement can be manufactured using a metal ...

Automated planning for the construction of laterally resistant masonry walls using irregular stones

Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Qianqing Wang, Ketson Roberto Maximiano Dos Santos

The construction industry's carbon footprint may be reduced by switching to the usage of natural stones as building materials. Construction of dry-joint stone masonry structures is difficult because of the irregular shapes and the nonuniform sizes of the s ...

Chemical shrinkage of ye'elimite with and without gypsum addition

Karen Scrivener, Mohsen Ben Haha, Frank Bullerjahn

Ye'elimite (Ca4Al6O12SO4 or C(4)A(3)S) is the main hydraulic mineral present in calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA). Its reaction is responsible for the (early) hydration and associated cement properties such as the chemical shrinkage. This paper discusse ...

The influence of the filler effect on the sulfate requirement of blended cements

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

In some blended cements, the optimum amount of sulfate addition differs from that observed in OPC. This study aims to understand the mechanism behind the impact of two SCMs, namely metakaolin and limestone, on the sulfate balance of blended cements. No sig ...
