25 years of field exposure of pre-cracked concrete beams; combined impact of spacers and cracks on reinforcement corrosion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The state of corrosion of three pre-cracked concrete beams was investigated after 25 years of marine exposure (atmospheric, tidal and submerged). The influence of inadequate plastic spacers was found to overrule the possible ... -
A review of concrete properties under the combined effect of fatigue and corrosion from a material perspective
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)When in use, reinforced concrete bridge structures not only experience high-frequency fatigue loading caused by passing vehicles, but also suffer from the effects of a corrosive environment. In addition to fatigue damage ... -
Comparison of Accelerated Climate Ageing Methods of Polymer Building Materials by Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Radiation Spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The degradation of the polymer building materials polypropylene (PP) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) intended for application as water barriers/repellants around building foundation walls have been studied. The PP and ... -
Comparison of the condition of steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete with water-glass and alkali-free activators after more than 20 years of service in a subsea road tunnel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The in-service condition of steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete installed more than 20 years ago as single-shell rock support lining in the Nordkapp subsea road tunnel was investigated. The novelty of this study is the ... -
Durability Evaluation of Adhesive Tapes for Building Applications
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In the building sector, various adhesive materials are experiencing an increased usage for sealing of overlaps and joints between most commonly used building materials, around penetrations, pipes and windows for increasing ... -
Effect of carbonation on bulk resistivity of cement/carbon nanofiber composites
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The conductivity of cement/carbon nanofiber (CNF) composite materials has previously been shown to be affected by parameters such as e.g. CNF content or water to cement (w/c) ratios, water saturation and temperature. ... -
Elastic and thermodynamic properties of the major clinker phases of Portland cement: Insights from first principles calculations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Portland based cement is one of the most popular materials used in the civil and construction applications. Reliable computational methods to provide an insight into the underlying mechanics of the major phases of this ... -
Freeze-thaw damage evaluation and model creation for concrete exposed to freeze–thaw cycles at early-age
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Concrete subjected to freeze–thaw cycles action at early-age will suffer serious physical damage, resulting in degradation of the concrete’s performance. The subsequent curing conditions after early-age freeze–thaw cycles ... -
Hollow Silica Nanospheres as Thermal Insulation Materials for Construction: Impact of their Morphologies as a Function of Synthesis Pathways and Starting Materials
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Hollow silica nanospheres (HSNS) show a promising potential to become good thermal insulators with low thermal conductivity values for construction purposes. The thermal conductivity of HSNSs is dependent on their structural ... -
Hygrothermal Properties of Compressed Earthen Bricks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The present study investigates the relationship between bulk density and hygrothermal behaviour of compressed earthen bricks. The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity linearly increases from 0.5228 W/(m K) ... -
State of research on shear strengthening of RC beams with FRCM composites
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper summarizes the state of research on the topic of shear strengthening of RC beams using externally bonded FRCM composites. In the first part of this paper, a detailed bibliographical review of the literature on ... -
Thermal Conductivity of Cement Stabilized Earth Blocks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)The present study examines the effect of bulk density and cement content on the thermal conductivity of cement stabilized earth blocks (CSEB). The experimental results show that the thermal conductivity increases as a ...
