Concrete Compressive Strength Variation with Time

The concrete strength variation with age can be studied by different methods. The figure-1 below shows the strength variation of a concrete present at dry and wet condition.

Effect of recycled coarse aggregate to damping variation of concrete …

Although the properties of recycled aggregate concrete are widely considered to be inferior to those of natural aggregate concrete, research in the field still is of merit due to growing awareness ...

Properties of Concrete at Elevated Temperatures

Fire response of concrete structural members is dependent on the thermal, mechanical, and deformation properties of concrete. These properties vary significantly with temperature and also depend on the composition and characteristics of concrete batch mix as well as heating rate and other environmental conditions.

The influence of aggregate sizes on the structural properties of conventional concrete has been extensively studied, yielding valuable insights into concrete's …

Variation of the Hydraulic Conductivity and the Mechanical

Sandoval et al. performed an experimental program to test and characterize the hydraulic behavior variation of pervious plastic concrete with natural aggregates and recycled aggregates due to clogging. Plastic concrete's hydraulic conductivity is reduced not only due to the porosity of plastic concrete but also by the particle size distribution ...
