Mix designComputer programExperimental packingAir void systemWhen selecting a concrete mix design, it is always desirable to compose the aggregates as densely as possible, i.e. with maximum packing. That minimises the necessary amount of binder which has to fill the cavities between the aggregates...
Concrete mix design and optimization suitable for the intended application are essential for the success of Sika® Architectural Concrete. Additionally, thanks to concrete pigments, admixtures, and other products in the Sika® Architectural range, it's possible to produce a high-quality concret...
diffraction undersynchrotron radiation. Moreover, average corrosion rates were evaluated by two different methods. Secondly, the basis of a mechanistic corrosion modelling approach is proposed to simulate the evolution of the steel/concrete interface during the ‘active’ corrosion phase. Calculations ...
Determining optimal structural dimensions for practical engineering applications and specifying joint stiffness values for structural design and calculations remain unexplored areas by scholars, which this paper aims to investigate through experimental tests and parametric FE analyses.

3.2 Concrete Mix-Design The mix design for the prototype small beams and the full-scale beams include Portland Type I cement, coarse aggregates, fin aggregates (sand), fly ash, water, and superplasticizer (Matthew 2013). The mix design proportions are shown in Table 1. The samples were rem...
Over the last decade, however, the focus on the EAC design has enhanced due to an increasing awareness in the industry, as well as a more frequently seen option to avoid temperature requirements by performing dedicated EAC calculations. In view of this, the currently presented material property ...

Chapter 11 MARSHALL METHOD OF ASPHALT-CONCRETE MIX DESIGN 11.1 INTRODUCTION Bituminous mixes (some times called asphalt mixes) are used in the surface layer of road and airfield pavements. The mix is composed usually of aggregate and asphalt cements. Some types of bituminous mixes are also used ...
