External sulfate attack in dam concretes with thaumasite formation

The Use of Limestone in Portland Cements: Effect on Thaumasite Form of Sulfate Attack

Simulation of Expansion in Cement Based Materials Subjected to External Sulfate Attack

Sulfate attack in concrete structures is considered to be among the major durability concerns in civil infrastructure systems. Proper modeling techniques can help us understand the influence of aggressive environments on the concrete performance more readily and accurately. Such an understanding improves the decision making process in every stage of construction and maintenance and will help in...

Strategic Network Formation with Attack and Immunization

Strategic network formation arises in settings where agents receive some benefit from their connectedness to other agents, but also incur costs for forming these links. We consider a new network formation game that incorporates an adversarial attack, as well as immunization or protection against attack. An agent’s network benefit is the expected size of her connected component post-attack, and ...

Freeze-Thaw Resistance of Concretes with BFSA

Abstract—Air-cooled Blast Furnace Slag Aggregate (BFSA) is usually referred to as a material providing for unique properties of concrete. On the other hand, negative influences are also presented in many aspects. The freeze-thaw resistance of concrete is dependent on many factors, including regional specifics and when a concrete mix is specified it is still difficult to tell its exact freeze-th...
