13. Influence of different compacting methods on concrete compressive strength
ABSTRACT Adequate compacting is an important stage contributing for the durability and final quality of concrete structures. The two main ways of compacting concrete are: manual and mechanical (immersion vibrator). This paper has the goal of verifying the influence of those two compacting methods on the compressive strength of concrete from long term data. I

14. Efeito da adição de fibras híbridas na durabilidade de compósitos cimentícios avançados em ambientes úmidos e agressivos
ABSTRACT Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is one type of advanced cementitious composite that has been increasingly used. Its high mechanical strength enables the application of the composite in bolder structures. Considering its recent history of use, there is a lack of knowledge about this materials durability. Therefore, this paper aimed to evaluate the beh

15. Monitoring reinforcement corrosion of concretes designed for nuclear facilitie
ABSTRACT The facilities designed for the peaceful activities of nuclear energy are made with different materials, among them, reinforced concrete. This material, in addition to being structural, is a barrier for isolation and confinement from the environment of the radioactive materials. One of its degradation mechanisms is the corrosion of the reinforcement

16. Tensile Behaviour and Durability Issues of Engineered Cementitious Composites with Rice Husk Ash
ABSTRACT The Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) is a special type of High Performance Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composite (HPFRCC) characterized by a high tensile ductility with a 2% maximum volume of micro fibres. ECC has a tensile strain-hardening performance that leads to multiple cracking behaviour, thus providing the high ductility to the conc

17. Mechanical properties and microstructure of high performance concrete containing stabilized nano-silica
ABSTRACT Nanotechnology can significantly improve the mechanical strength and durability of concrete. At the nanoscale, good dispersion of constituent materials is an essential factor for the improvement of concrete properties. In this scenario, the objective of this research was to evaluate the mechanical properties of high performance concrete containing s

18. Temperature field of concrete-filled steel tubular columns in fire
Abstract The composite structures formed by the association of steel profiles with concrete have shown to be an advantageous alternative, improving the behavior of the steel structures concerning their load capacity, stiffness, and durability, under fire conditions. The concrete-filled tubular columns have become an attractive alternative for the civil const

19. Experimental Investigation on Self-Compacting Self-Curing Concrete Incorporated with the Light Weight Aggregates
ABSTRACT Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) flows around obstructions by its self-weight to fill entirely and self-consolidate (without any need for vibration), without any part of disconnection and chunking. The eradication of the need for consolidation leads to better quality concrete and substantial improvement of running conditions. The fresh state of SCC mi

20. Durability Enhancement Of SCC With Waste Glass Powder
Self compacting concrete (SCC) requires a large quantity of fine materials compared to common concrete. In this work waste glass powder was used to replace (50%) of filler required. Two types of SCC were manufactured, a control SCC type (CTL) using cement and limestone filler and another with glass powder replacing 50% of the filler. Mechanical and durabilit

21. Mechanical and Durability Performance of Polyacrylonitrile Fiber Reinforced Concrete
In this paper, the impact toughness, autogenous shrinkage, chloride penetration resistance, permeability resistance and abrasion resistance performance of prepared concrete reinforced with Polyacrylonitrile fiber (PAN fiber) were researched. The PAN fiber volume concentration percentages of cement were 0, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%, respectively. The results

22. Stochastic Analysis of Flexural Strength of RC Beams Subjected to Chloride Induced Corrosion
Importance of consideration of chloride induced corrosion in service life design of reinforced concrete (RC) structures situated in marine environment is well known. This paper attempts to provide, within the framework of Monte Carlo Simulation, methodologies for durability based service life design of RC members. A methodology using fragility curves is prop

23. Mechanical performance of concrete with incorporation of coarse waste from the marble industry
The waste resulting from marble extraction process is usually disposed of in landfills or dumps and its accumulation is causing serious environmental and landscaping problems. One way of reusing marble waste is to consider its incorporation in structural concrete as a non-primary aggregate. This research work attempts to alleviate the situation and provide i

24. Effect of Calcination Temperature on the Pozzolanic Activity of Brazilian Sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA)
This study evaluated the feasibility of using sugar cane bagasse ash (SCBA), a by-product of the sugar cane ethanol industry, obtained under controlled calcination as a partial replacement for Portland cement in mortars. Materials with pozzolanic characteristics may be used to partially replace cement in mortars or concrete and are known to provide durabilit
