    Abstract: Polymers have been one of the mostly and effectively used materials all over the world recently. They have been gaining popularity for various purposes in the concrete industry last couple of decades as well. They have the ability to increase the strength and durability of the concrete products. Moreover, polymers in concrete industry can also be c... Show More

    Abstract: Assuming that the road infrastructure has been implemented in accordance with specifications and standards, poor adhesion between the two layers of asphalt mix can be a significant cause of pavement problems. The general problem observed with the weak adhesion between the layers is the slip failure. Slipping disruption in areas where transport acce... Show More

    Abstract: A wide variation of chloride thresholds can be found in the literature. Possible causes for this variation, which were mentioned are: method of threshold determination, cement chemistry, and concrete microstructure. Regardless of the reasons for these variations, a probabilistic method can be used to ensure the durability of reinforced concrete str... Show More
