Thermal Cracking of Massive Concrete Structures
This book provides a State of the Art Report (STAR) produced by RILEM Technical Committee 254-CMS ‘Thermal Cracking of Mas-sive Concrete Structures’. Several recent developments related to the old problem of understanding/predicting stresses originated from the evolution of the hydration of concrete are at the origin of the creation this technical committee. Having identified a lack in the organization of up-to-date scientific and technological knowledge about cracking induced by hydration heat effects, this STAR aims to provide both practitioners and scientists with a deep integrated overview of consolidated knowledge, together with recent developments on this subject.
Numerical Modeling Strategies for Sustainable Concrete Structures
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in the field of sustainable concrete structures, as presented by scientists and engineers at the RILEM International Conference on Numerical Modeling Strategies for Sustainable Concrete Structures (SSCS), held in Marseille, France, on July 4-6, 2022. It demonstrates that numerical methods (finite elements, finite volumes, finite differences) are a relevant response to the challenge to optimize the utilization of cement in concrete constructions while checking that these constructions have a lifespan compatible with the stakes of sustainable development. They are indeed accurate tools for an optimized design of concrete...

Mechanical Properties of Alkali-Activated Materials
This book presents the work of the RILEM TC 294-MPA and serves as a comprehensive and authoritative review of the latest advancements in alkali-activated materials (AAMs). It covers the chemistry and mix design of AAMs, including conventional and novel precursors, as well as activators. The mechanical properties of fresh and hardened AAMs, along with bond behaviors in reinforced systems (rebars and fibers), are examined in detail. Key volume stability challenges like autogenous shrinkage, drying shrinkage, creep, and cracking potential are thoroughly addressed. Practical applications, standards, and norms for AAM production are also included, bridging the gap between theory and practice. This state-of-the-art resource is invaluable for researchers, engineers, and policymakers seeking to advance sustainable construction materials. It highlights cutting-edge developments, from innovative materials to standards adoption, ensuring relevance for both academia and industry. The book empowers professionals to tackle performance challenges while promoting AAMs as eco-friendly alternatives.
Service Life and Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures
This volume contains the proceedings of the 8th International PhD Student Workshop on Service Life and Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures that was held in Marne-la-Vallée, France, on September the 26th and 27th 2016. Topics discussed in the book are related to durability performance of reinforced concrete, service life modelling, prevention, protection and repair. Reinforced concrete structures may prove to be very durable, however, their gradual degradation over time impairing both serviceability and structural safety is still a matter of great practical concern in view of the large economic consequences for assessment, maintenance and repair. Corrosion of steel reinforcement is ...
Proceedings of the 3rd RILEM Spring Convention and Conference (RSCC2020)
This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions presented at the 3rd RILEM Spring Convention and Conference, held at Guimarães and hosted by the University of Minho, Portugal, on March 9-14, 2020. The theme of the Conference was “Ambitioning a Sustainable Future for Built Environment: comprehensive strategies for unprecedented challenges”, which was aimed at discussing current challenges and impacts of the built environment on sustainability. The present volume is dedicated to the topic “Strategies for a resilient built environment”, which covers the current and emerging approaches that lead to an optimized design and maintenance of constructions and systems. It includes the developme...
