However, existing models generally simplify the evolution of pore structures and insufficiently consider the coupled effects of temperature and DW on sulfate transport, chemical reactions, and damage development. This paper presents a multi-physics model for ion transport-reaction-damage that incorporates the effects of temperature, DW, and micro-cracking on ions transfer, and the model’s reliability has been validated by published experimental evidence. The evolution of solid–liquid phases concentrations, and porosity is simulated via model to quantify the deterioration process. Results indicate that coupled effects expedite sulfate diffusion and chemical reactions, leading to more significant changes in solid-phase and microcrack development. Specifically, the coupled effects significantly increase the sulfate corrosion depth in concrete, reaching 2 times and 1.38 times that observed under full immersion (FI) and DW conditions, respectively. Moreover, corrosion depth exceeds damage depth via the pore-filling effect of reaction products. And the increase of initial <span>({w mathord{left/ {vphantom {w c}} right. kern-0pt} c})</span> ratios lead to a pronounced non-linear acceleration in both corrosion depth and microcracking volume. The evolution of porosity is revealed to be governed by a spatiotemporal competing mechanism between chemical consumption and physical filling-cracking processes, resulting in a transition from pore-filling dominance to damage-controlled deterioration. This model offers a practical numerical tool for predicting infrastructure service life in aggressive environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":691,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Structures","volume":"59 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mortar compressive strength at 6, 8, 24 h, and 28 d was evaluated, and the underlying mechanisms were analyzed through hydration heat evolution, phase composition, in-situ pH, pore-solution ion concentration, and pore structure. Short resting times of 0–10 min limited the availability of calcium and hydroxide ions before accelerator addition, thereby hindering rapid ettringite formation and subsequent hydration. In contrast, excessively long resting time reduced mixing uniformity and weakened subsequent hydration, resulting in lower strength. This adverse effect could be partially mitigated by extending the mixing time after accelerator addition. Furthermore, the optimal resting time was also found to depend strongly on cement type. For OPC, a practically feasible resting-time window of 30–60 min was identified. In contrast, longer resting times also appear to be feasible for low-C<sub>3</sub>A cement. For both cement systems, optimal resting time significantly enhanced hydration and strength development at all ages.

The inclusion of recycled aggregates introduces greater heterogeneity due to residual mortar, microcracks, and variable material properties, all of which complicate modeling efforts. Growing demand for concrete, scarcity of natural aggregates, and the environmental impacts of cement production have increased interest in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) from construction waste as a sustainable alternative. However, RAC often exhibits reduced mechanical performance due to residual mortar, pre-existing microcracks, and variability in particle properties. While numerous experimental and numerical studies have explored the elastic modulus of RAC, existing theoretical models remain limited. Most simplify concrete as a two-phase system of mortar and aggregate, overlooking the influence of cement paste and hydration products. Poisson’s ratio is commonly neglected, despite natural and recycled aggregates generally exhibiting different values. This study presents a multiphase and multiscale computational framework for predicting the elastic modulus of RAC. The model integrates nanoscale, microscale, and mesoscale interactions using the Mori–Tanaka and Generalized Self-Consistent schemes, incorporating cement paste and clinker hydration products and investigating the influence of differences in Poisson’s ratio between natural and recycled aggregates on the predicted elastic modulus. The framework was validated in two stages and demonstrated good agreement with experimental results, with errors below 10%.

Both spectra are generally derived from the master curve. However, the influence of master curve development methodology on the derived continuous spectra still remains unexplored. Accurate measurement of continuous relaxation and retardation spectra is crucial for constitutive modeling of asphalt binder, as these spectra affect the prediction of stress relaxation, creep response, and other linear viscoelastic properties used in pavement performance analysis. Since these spectra are commonly derived from master curves rather than measured directly, the adopted master curve development methodology can significantly influence the resulting spectra. The present study evaluates the effect of master curve development methodologies on derived continuous relaxation and retardation spectra. Frequency sweep test results obtained from two unmodified and two modified asphalt binders were used to construct master curves using two sigmoidal functions (symmetric and asymmetric) coupled with the four different temperature shift factor approaches (Free Shifting, William-Landel-Ferry equation, Arrhenius equation, and Kaelble equation). Based on the master curve model parameters, the continuous relaxation and retardation spectra were determined. The effects of the sigmoidal function and temperature shift factor approach on derived continuous spectra were evaluated using the goodness of fit statistics. The continuous spectra obtained using a particular sigmoid function combined with different temperature shift factor approaches resulted in different spectra. The goodness of fit statistics indicated that the asymmetric sigmoidal function outperformed the symmetric sigmoidal function. In addition, the asymmetric sigmoidal function and the free-shifting approach allowed the accurate construction of derived continuous spectra. Various functional forms (Generalized Exponential function, Fraser Suzuki function and Asymmetric Double Sigmoidal function) were evaluated to describe the continuous spectra. The Asymmetric Double Sigmoidal function fitted well with the continuous spectra irrespective of the development methodology adopted. Based on the asphalt binders investigated in this study, free shifting approach can be recommended for deriving the spectra and Asymmetric Double Sigmoidal function can be recommended for describing the spectra.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":691,"journal":{"name":"Materials and Structures","volume":"59 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148927227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Binary blends of metakaolin (M) with ground granulated blast furnace slag (S) (M-S) and natural pozzolans, i.e., trass (P) (M-P) and clinoptilolite zeolite (Z) (M-Z), were evaluated. To induce competitive interactions, formulations at three calcium hydroxide (CH) to SCM mass ratios: 3:1, 1:1, and 1:2 were studied. This work introduces a new approach combining isothermal calorimetry and selective dissolution to determine the degree of reaction (DoR) of each SCM within the blend. Complementary analyses included CH consumption, hydrates identification and quantification via XRD-Rietveld refinement and compressive strength testing. Results show that CH availability is the primary driver of SCM reactivity and competition in binary blends. At low CH:SCM ratios, highly reactive SCMs capture CH preferentially, surpassing their reactivity in single systems and partially suppressing the less reactive SCM counterpart. This behavior is formalized through the introduction of a “reactive filler effect”. A competition model proportional to the reactivity difference between the SCMs was proposed to estimate competition behavior, offering quantitative insight into blend behavior across CH:SCM ratios and SCM blends.
