A new methodology for determining thermal properties and modelling temperature development in hydrating concrete

O'Donnell, John J. ; O'Brien, Eugene J. (Elsevier, 2003-04)

A method is described for determining both the rate of heat generation and the time-dependent thermal properties of concrete so that the temperature development in a concrete section can be modelled. The method uses measured ...
Performance of high alkali slag concretes in the context of alkali-silica reaction

Hester, David ; McNally, Ciaran ; Richardson, Mark G. (2003-02)

The depletion of natural resources, the requirement for sustainable development and environmental restrictions, such as those associated with the Kyoto Agreement, makes the re-use of waste materials increasingly important ...
A study of the influence of slag alkali level on the alkali-silica reactivity of slag concrete

Hester, David ; McNally, Ciaran ; Richardson, Mark G. (Elsevier, 2005-11)

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (ggbs), can reduce the alkali load in concrete, despite its relatively high alkali content. Most research has been devoted to the efficacy of slag with an alkali content of less than ...
