The properties of chloride penetration of hybrid fiber reinforced self-compacting concrete (SCC) were investigated in this study. The results show that the chloride penetration resistance of concrete can be improved by single incorporation either carbon or cellulose fibers. The concrete chloride diffusion coefficient DRCM of 12-cm length carbon SCC with fiber content of 1.7, 2.72, and 3.4 kg/m3...

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) demands more studies of durability at higher temperatures when subjected to more aggressive environments in comparison to the conventional vibrated concrete (CC). This work aims at presenting results of durability indicators of SCC and CC, having the same water/binder relations and constituents. The applied methodologies were electrical resistivity, diffusion of c...

Today's cement concrete industry is a major polluter. Cement, used as binder in concrete, made by high-temperature combustion, which raises atmospheric CO2 levels and contributes to climate change natural resource depletion. As raw supplies diminish, several governments begin levy carbon taxes. Numerous research have been undertaken produce an innovative ecologically advantageous construction m...

Marine environments are widely addressed as a serious threat to coastal concrete structures due higher repair and rehabilitation costs. The rising concerns of climate change related issues also require marine be resilient sustainable at the same time. Geopolymer has been given more significant consideration an alternative, reporting better resistance harsh hazardous environmental exposure, incl...
