In the modelling and simulation of reinforced concrete structures, accurate definition of material properties is important in terms of obtaining precise results. Among the parameters defining the behaviour of concrete in ...

Electric polarization is basic to the dielectric behavior, which is pertinent to the science and applications of cement-based materials. This work reports the dynamics of the DC-current-induced electric polarization/depolarization ...

The increasing depletion of nonrenewable resources has motivated society to find alternate sources and methods of industrial processes. This problem can only be solved by using the resources that are given by nature in ...

Concrete structures are exposed to water throughout their service life. Nowadays, fiber-reinforced concrete is the most preferred concrete due to its superior mechanical properties. However, good mechanical properties alone ...

Large amounts of waste products have been and most probably will continue to be produced with urbanization, industrialization, and technological developments. The study presented herein is devoted to using blast furnace ...

In this study, a dipole antenna is designed for real-time damage assessment, humidity, and temperature monitoring in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete structures. The antenna-based sensor is embedded into reinforced ...

Carbon footprint is considered the main cause of global warming. There are various studies on environmental sustainability carried out global scale. In this study, prediction models were developed for CO2 emissions in ...

Capacitance-based self-sensing properties of cement pastes at different curing times were studied in this work. Cement paste samples that did not require any functional materials were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days. Continuous ...
