Seawater mixed (SW) concrete lessens the freshwater (FW) demand and eases the stress on the already depleting FW resources. The use of SW concrete is a sustainable solution that mitigates the environmental impact of concrete production, especially in coa...

One of the most effective ways to increase the longevity of pavement structures is through the integration of geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as geotextiles, geogrids, or geocomposites that are added to the interfac...

The alkali?aggregate reactivity (AAR) of concrete, long known for mass concrete, can also induce corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete structures. Several examples are given for which the origin of observed reinforcement corrosion and loss of concret...
