The development of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) opened new research directions for enhancing the architectural design, sustainability and serviceability of concrete structures. However, the costs and resource intensiveness trigger the need for in ...
At the turn of the 19th century, the production and use of concrete were limited by the unavailability of raw materials to produce good cement in several places. From that time onwards, the progress of chemistry and a number of empirical discoveries opened ...
Autogenous shrinkage is the unrestrained volume change of cementitious materials occurring at con-stant temperature without any change in mass. It occurs as a consequence of self-desiccation (de-crease of internal relative humidity) and increasing capillar ...
This dissertation originates from an investigation about the arising of the modern, German building expertise involving the use of concrete, which develops during the first three quarter of the 19th century against the backdrop of a general modernisation p ...
The results obtained from many previous studies highlight the need for further investigation of the strong connection existing between fresh state and hardened state performance of fiber reinforced concrete. A comprehensive experimental study was conducted ...
This paper is the work of working group 2 of the RILEM TC 238-SCM. Its purpose is to review methods to estimate the degree of reaction of supplementary cementitious materials in blended (or composite) cement pastes. We do not consider explicitly the wider ...
H-1 NMR has been used to characterise white Portland cement paste incorporating 10 wt.% of silica fume. Samples were measured sealed throughout the hydration without sample drying. Paste compositions and C-S-H characteristics are calculated based on H-1 NM ...
Concrete is a most important geomaterial as it is used for a large part in our buildings and infrastructures. According to Planetoscope (2012) its production is about 6 billion m3 per year (190 m3 each second) which makes it the most used manufactured mate ...
High-performance concrete is sensitive to early-age cracking, mainly due to its rapidly-developing autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage and internal relative humidity (RH) decrease are direct consequences of the emptying of capillary pores due to cem ...
This thesis investigates the replacement of Portland cement by addition of high amounts of calcined clays and limestone. Such ternary blends can become more ecological and economical binders to answer the worldwide housing shortage. It could be demonstrate ...
