Materials science of concrete

TL;DR: In this article, the authors predict Portland Cement's properties from its chemical and mineralogical compositon, and the role of Aggregates and their influence on maturity prediction, including drying stresses and internal relative humidity in concrete.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact testing of concrete using a drop-weight impact machine

TL;DR: A detailed description of the instrumented drop-weight impact machine is presented in this article, where the instrumentation, the calibration, the inertial loading correction, and the dynamic analysis of a concrete beam specimen undergoing three-point impact flexural loading are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rheology of high-performance concrete: Effect of ultrafine particles

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of ultrafine particles used as partial replacements for cement on the rheology of high-strength concrete (HSC) was investigated, and the advantages of using triple-blended composite cements containing microfillers of various particle sizes were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microhardness testing of cementitious materials

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the underlying principles of microhardness testing, addressing the theoretical background and the testing procedures, highlighting the advantage and limitations of this technique and providing guidelines for its proper use in the research of cementitious systems.
