Nano science and technology is a new field of emergence in materials science and engineering, which forms the basis for evolution of novel technological materials. Nano technology finds application in various fields of science and technology. This article presents a critical review of the literature on the influence of nano silica in concrete and its application for the development of sustainab...

Corrosion cracking of reinforced concrete caused by chloride salt is one of the main determinants of structure durability. Monitoring the entire process of concrete corrosion cracking is critical for assessing the remaining life of the structure and determining if maintenance is needed. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensing technology is extensively developed in photoelectric monitoring technology ...

Multiscale modeling for cement-based materials, such as concrete, is a relatively young subject, but there are already a number of different approaches to study different aspects of these classical materials. In this paper, the parameter-passing multiscale modeling scheme is established and applied to address the multiscale modeling problem for the integrated system of cement paste, mortar, and...

Structural health monitoring has been one of particular concerns of the engineering community. Effective monitoring, reliable data analysis, rational data interpretation and correct decision making are challenging problems for engineers who specialized in structural health assessment field. Concrete structures were constructed for various purposes in a certain design life in the context of 'mai...

Over the last decade, trend of producing monolithic concrete and reinforced with increased strength indicators continues in Ukraine world. Ensuring performance short roads is one main tasks technology products modern times. It known that thermoforce processing can have a positive effect on properties - such as volume, strength, corrosion resistance, water permeability, durability. In these indu...
