## Abstract Since the initiation stage of the damage process due to reinforcement corrosion had been successfully investigated in the recent past, the damage progress in the propagation stage is currently in the focus of research. This work deals with the mechanisms of cracking and spalling due to
Extending a previous method for calculating shrinkage stresses, loading-unloading conditions governing a nonlinear stress-strain behaviour of concrete in tension are presented. The strain-softening part (falling branch) is included in the model. The proposed method is demonstrated by fitting shrinka
The effect of the superplasticizer 'Melment' on the creep and related properties of concrete has been studied under extreme conditions, in which the strength of the control concrete was the maximum attainable with the cement and aggregates used in the experiment, and in which the admixture dosage le
Ice formation measurements using low temperature calorimetry (CAL) were made on non-air entrained high strength concretes (HSC) before and after exposure to rapid freeze/thaw cycles in water (ASTM C666 proc. A). The purpose was to explore the relationship between water absorption during test, change
High performance concretes of high compressive strength are finding increasing applications in many fields of construction such as core walls and columns in tall buildings, long-span bridges and marine structures. In thick cross-sections, the high binder contents of some high strength concretes can
