The paper presents the results of our own experimental research on the effect of the high range water reducing admixture content – HRWRA (applied in the range from 0.8 to 1.2% by mass of cement – mc) on the properties of self-compacting concrete in the fresh and hardened state. The research showed that increasing the HRWRA content lead...

On the calculation example of a cable-stayed bridge with oblique cables, it was pointed out the shrinkage and creep of concrete significantly affects the distribution of stresses and deflections of the span beam over time. The segmental type of bridge construction is considered, which implies the successive introduction of concrete rheology, for ca...

Considering that one of the most common causes of reinforcement corrosion, and consequently degradation of concrete structures, are chloride ions, it is of utmost importance to know their concentration in concrete. This paper presents the limitations of the chloride ions content in concrete and classes according to European regulations, and the exp...
