TL;DR: In this paper, four different recycled aggregate concretes were produced; made with 0, 25, 50, 50 and 100% of recycled coarse aggregates, respectively, in order to achieve the same compressive strengths.

TL;DR: Experimental techniques commonly used for high strain-rate testing of concrete in compression, together with the methods used for measurement and recording of stress and strain, are critically assessed in the first part of this paper as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Experimental techniques commonly used for high strain-rate testing of concrete in compression, together with the methods used for measurement and recording of stress and strain, are critically assessed in the first part of this paper. The physical capability of each loading method is discussed and some consideration is given to the definitions used for specifying the loading rate. The second part reviews the dynamic compressive strength (mostly uniaxial rather than bi- or triaxial) of plain concrete, while in the third part a review on deformation behaviour indicates that uncertainty and disagreement exist concerning changes in axial strain at high strain rates.

TL;DR: In this article, a specific group of alkali-resistant spore-forming bacteria related to the genus Bacillus was selected for this purpose, and the bacterial spores directly added to the cement mixture remained viable for a period up to 4 months.
1,070 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the cohesive process zone model, a general model which can deal with the nonlinear zone ahead of the crack tip, is presented, which is able to adequately predict the behaviour of uncracked structures, including those with blunt notches, and not only the response of bodies with cracks.

TL;DR: An overview of advances in geopolymers formed by the alkaline activation of aluminosilicates is presented along with opportunities for their use in building construction as mentioned in this paper, with respect to fresh and hardened states, interfacial transition zone between aggregate and geopolymer, bond with steel reinforcing bars and resistance to elevated temperature.
