An experimental study of cathodic protection for chloride contaminated reinforced concrete (2018)
Journal Article

Cathodic protection (CP) is being increasingly used on reinforced concrete structures to protect steel reinforcing bars from corrosion in aggressive conditions. Due to the complexity of environmental conditions, the design specifications in national...

A sustainable pavement concrete using warm mix asphalt and hydrated lime treated recycled concrete aggregates (2018)
Journal Article
Albayati, A., Wang, Y., Wang, Y., & Haynes, B. (2018). A sustainable pavement concrete using warm mix asphalt and hydrated lime treated recycled concrete aggregates. Sustainable Materials and Technologies, 18, e00081. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.susmat.2018.e00081

Recently, increasing material prices coupled with more acute environmental awareness and the implementation of regulation has driven a strong movement toward the adoption of sustainable construction technology. In the pavement industry, using low tem... Read More about A sustainable pavement concrete using warm mix asphalt and hydrated lime treated recycled concrete aggregates.

Characterization of concrete electrical resistivity at varied pore structures, water and chloride contents (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Xiang, N., Wang, Y., & Oleiwi, H. (2018, September). Characterization of concrete electrical resistivity at varied pore structures, water and chloride contents. Presented at 38th Cement and Concrete Science Conference, Coventry, UK

Concrete electrical resistivity has been verified as one of the most significant indicators in the evaluation of steel corrosion in concrete. It is also a most effective parameter in the design and operation of cathodic protection for reinforced conc...

An experimental study of concrete resistivity and the effects of electrode configuration and current frequency on measurement (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Oleiwi, H., Wang, Y., Xiang, N., Augusthus Nelson, L., Chen, X., & Shabalin, I. (2018, July). An experimental study of concrete resistivity and the effects of electrode configuration and current frequency on measurement. Presented at Sixth International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures, University of Leeds, UK

Electrical resistivity, a measurable parameter of the state of concrete, plays an important role in the assessment of reinforced concrete structures. An experimental study using two-electrode method has been conducted to evaluate the resistivity of P...

Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture (2018)
Journal Article
Al Menhosh, A., Wang, Y., Wang, Y., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2018). Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture. Construction and Building Materials, 172, 41-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2018.03.215

Previous studies show that both metakaolin (MK) and polymer can respectively improve certain mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Also, recent studies show that a combination of MK and polymer further enhances the mechanical properties b...
