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 ... -
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 ... -
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) ... -
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 ...
