Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Surface Roughness on Shear Strength of Cracked Concrete

Guillaume Anciaux, Mohit Pundir

Aggregate interlock is the mechanism via which normal and shear stresses are transferred across the lips of cracks in concrete . The fractal property of cracking surfaces in concrete plays a significant role in shear transfer across surfaces. Because of th ...

Basic creep and autogenous shrinkage of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3)

Julien Ston

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to lower the clinker factor of cements is now commonplace, for it benefits performance, economics and ecology. This thesis focuses on ternary blends of limestone and calcined kaolinitic clays, two very ...

Prediction of autogenous shrinkage of cement pastes as poro-visco-elastic deformation

Karen Scrivener, Zhangli Hu, Pietro Lura

Precise and robust predictions of autogenous shrinkage of high performance concrete are essential to limit self-induced stresses and cracking in modern concrete structures. This paper presents predictions of autogenous shrinkage for three cement pastes of ...

Quantification of amorphous siliceous fly ash in hydrated blended cement pastes by X-ray powder diffraction

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, Xuerun Li

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD)-based quantitative phase analysis is a common technique for studying the hydration of cementitious systems. Hydrated cements often comprise several amorphous or nanocrystalline phases. This paper presents a protocol for the ...
