Cement-based materials are widely used in the civil infrastructure. Polymers as admixtures can improve the properties, particularly in relation to water absorption reduction, toughness enhancement, vibration damping and increase of the bond strength of cement to reinforcements. Polymeric admixtures include particles, short fibers and organic liquids. Latex in the form of an aqueous particle dis...

Polymeric material plays a vital role in construction industry for the past 50 years and there are lot of researches on going different countries to use polymers various applications. Polymer concrete is type sustainable which totally free from cement water as binder thereby possessing advantages towards green than conventional Portland Cement Concrete. In this paper, authors developed mix poly...

Abstract. Elkhateeb WA, Elnahas MO, Daba GM. 2021. Review: Microbial induced mineralization of calcium carbonate for self-Healing concrete. Asian J Nat Prod Biochem 19: 1-9. Low-cost solutions achieving concrete self-healing are attracting researchers attention. Generally, mechanism has been so far accomplished by three approaches: autogenous healing, encapsulation polymeric material, and micro...

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...

Resin Concrete uses polymeric resin to replace cement concrete. Four types of polyester resins were identified with Methyl methacrylate as catalyst, calcium carbonate and fly ash fillers along river sand coarse aggregate size 10mm, 6mm used produce Seventy-two trial batches carried out for preliminary investigation targeting compressive strength more than 80 MPa (11.6 ksi) four shortlisted. The...

In recent years, the Lamb wave analysis by the multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) for concrete structures has been an effective nondestructive evaluation, such as the condition assessment and dimension identification by the elastic wave velocities and their reflections from boundaries. This study proposes an effective Lamb wave analysis by the practical application of MASW to concre...
