Determining alkali leaching during accelerated ASR performance testing and in field exposed cubes using cold water extraction (CWE) and μXRF
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Considerable leaching of alkali metals was documented, both in concrete samples exposed to accelerated laboratory testing and field samples. CWE allowed to quantitatively determine the free alkali metal profiles as a ... -
Multi-objective parametric study of a wooden window
(CESBP 2019, Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The aim of this study is to conduct a multi-objective parametric study by simultaneously analysing the thermal and structural performance of a wood-frame window. The finite element simulation program COMSOL is used to carry ... -
Outdoor exposure site testing for preventing Alkali-Aggregate Reactivity in concrete – a review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is a deleterious chemical reaction affecting the durability and service life of concrete structures worldwide. Specifications and recommendations were produced in many countries to ensure that ... -
Thermal mass and thermal comfort in offices – experimental studies of a concrete floor
(CESBP 2019, Conference object; Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Previous studies demonstrated that the use of thermal mass in buildings can contribute to reduce the energy demand and improve the thermal comfort. The thermal mass effect strongly depends on the properties of the materials ... -
Three decades of international RILEM activities to combat deleterious Alkali-Silica Reactions (ASR) in concrete
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Since 1988, the International Union of Laboratories and Experts in Construction Materials, Systems and Structures (RILEM) Technical Committees (TCs) have been seeking to establish universally applicable test methods for ...
