  2. Concrete degradation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_degradation

    When atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), or carbonate ions (HCO − 3, CO 2− 3 dissolved in water) diffuse into concrete from its external surface, they react with calcium hydroxide (portlandite, Ca(OH) 2) and the pH of the concrete pore water progressively decreases from 13.5 – 12.5 to 8.5 (pH of water in equilibrium with calcite).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamow_factor

    Gamow [3] first solved the one-dimensional case of quantum tunneling using the WKB approximation.Considering a wave function of a particle of mass m, we take area 1 to be where a wave is emitted, area 2 the potential barrier which has height V and width l (at < <), and area 3 its other side, where the wave is arriving, partly transmitted and partly reflected.

  4. Johnson–Holmquist damage model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson–Holmquist_damage...

    In solid mechanics, the Johnson–Holmquist damage model is used to model the mechanical behavior of damaged brittle materials, such as ceramics, rocks, and concrete, over a range of strain rates. Such materials usually have high compressive strength but low tensile strength and tend to exhibit progressive damage under load due to the growth of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfate_attack_in_concrete...

    A fairly well-defined reaction front can often be observed in thin sections; ahead of the front the concrete is normal, or near normal. Behind the reaction front, the composition and the microstructure of concrete are modified. These changes may vary in type or severity but commonly include: Extensive cracking; Expansion

  6. Creep and shrinkage of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Creep_and_shrinkage_of_concrete

    In practice, creep during drying is inseparable from shrinkage. The rate of creep increases with the rate of change of pore humidity (i.e., relative vapor pressure in the pores). For small specimen thickness, the creep during drying greatly exceeds the sum of the drying shrinkage at no load and the creep of a loaded sealed specimen (Fig. 1 bottom).

  8. Properties of concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_concrete

    The ultimate strength of concrete is influenced by the water-cementitious ratio (w/cm), the design constituents, and the mixing, placement and curing methods employed. All things being equal, concrete with a lower water-cement (cementitious) ratio makes a stronger concrete than that with a higher ratio. [2]
