Understanding the plastic (settlement/shrinkage) cracking phenomena of early-age concrete is important in-order to establish a holistic approach to minimise its occurrence. One of the factors associated with early-age concrete is the rheo-related beh

The present climate emergency demands the construction industry to minimise the carbon footprint of concrete buildings. In this paper, the potential different optimisation strategies to reduce ‘cradle-to-gate’ embodied carbon of concrete floors w

Fatigue behaviour of concrete has become an increasingly popular topic in the last century, especially with the development of railway bridges. Fatigue loading may appear in various forms, from physically applied loads, to indirect loads, including c

The study sets out to evaluate the thixotropy of conventional concrete containing rheology modifiers using various methods of rotational rheometry. Five mixes were examined: the control, two mixes with viscosity modifying agent (VMA) and superplastic

Plastic cracking is probably one of the earliest defects for concrete structures, and is capable of reducing a structure’s durability and service life if not prevented. Over the last 60 years, researchers have attempted to unravel the complex natur

Plastic shrinkage cracking (PSC) is one of the earliest possible defects that can potentially ruin the performance of concrete structures with large exposed surfaces. PSC is mainly attributed to tensile stresses arising in concrete due to a combinati

The cracking of plastic concrete remains a problem in the construction industry due to its complexity and incomplete understanding. One of the reasons for this is the lack of knowledge regarding the tensile material properties of the plastic concrete

The microstructural details of concrete and asphalt construction materials are crucial in understanding and improving their material properties for structural applications in civil engineering. Various destructive and non-destructive test methods are
