Mechanical properties of high strength concrete reinforced with metallic and non-metallic fibres
A. Sivakumar,Manu Santhanam +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental investigation carried out on high strength concrete reinforced with hybrid fibres up to a volume fraction of 0.5% was carried out for concrete prepared using different hybrid fibre combinations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of sulfate attack: A fresh look: Part 1: Summary of experimental results
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of sodium and magnesium sulfate solutions on expansion and microstructure of different types of Portland cement mortars and reported that the expansion of mortars in sodium sulfate solution follows a two-stage process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfate attack research — whither now?
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the cation in the sulfate solution, and the effects of formation of various products like gypsum, ettringite, and thaumasite, on the extent of damage need to be investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism of sulfate attack: a fresh look. part 2: proposed mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a mechanistic model for the mechanism of attack resulting from sodium and magnesium sulfate solutions, and the potential of these mechanistic models for use in service life prediction models has also been identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Durability properties of high volume fly ash self compacting concretes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an experimental study on the durability properties of self compacting concretes (SCCs) with high volume replacements of fly ash, and the results indicated that the SCCs showed higher permeable voids and water absorption than the vibrated normal concrete of the same strength grades.
