Strategies to minimize restraintstresses in conventional reinforced-concrete structures and in particular in water-impermeable structures

3D concrete printing has the potential to achieve a breakthrough in the construction industry. However, a number of challenges need to be overcome. An important step for transferring the 3D concrete...

In recent years, an extensive amount of research has been carried out in order to better understand and control several of the most important deteriorating processes acting on concrete structures in...

Concrete needs to exhibit a high freeze-thaw resistance to ensure long service lives, particularly in the case of concrete products used in road construction. This characteristic is primarily achieved...

Curing is not only about ensuring technically impeccable concrete products. The conditions prevailing during the curing process also influence visual aspects, including the prevention of efflorescence...

Resiliency is a key parameter for critical infrastructure. Concrete structures exhibit a high level of resiliency in terms of safety, robustness, durability, and disaster resistance. However, while...
