Approaches to Training Multi-Class Semantic Image Segmentation of Damage in Concrete

May 14, 2020
Author(s)
Peter Bajcsy, Steven B. Feldman, Michael P. Majurski, Kenneth A. Snyder, Mary C. Brady
This paper addresses the problem of creating a large quantity of high-quality training image segmentation masks from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of concrete samples that exhibit progressive amounts of degradation resulting from alkali-silica

Comparison of 2-D and 3-D shape analysis of concrete aggregate fines from VSI crushing

March 1, 2017
Author(s)
Edward J. Garboczi, Kenneth A. Snyder, Rolands Cepuritis, Stefan Jacobsen
The shape of concrete aggregate fines, with particle sizes between 3 µm and 250 µm, produced by high-speed vertical shaft impact (VSI) crushing of 10 different rock types from quarries in Norway, has been studied by both dynamic image analysis (DIA), which

Leaching of Conductive Species: Implications to Measurements of Electrical Resistivity

February 20, 2017
Author(s)
Robert Spragg, Scott Jones, Yiwen Bu, Yang Lu, Dale P. Bentz, Kenneth A. Snyder, Jason Weiss
Electrical tests have been used to characterize the microstructure of porous materials, the measured electrical response being determined by the contribution of the microstructure (porosity and tortuosity) and the electrical properties of the solution

Final Report for:EPA: LAG No. DW-13-93903501-0 Expanding a Tool for Predicting Chloride Diffusivity in Concrete So It Can Be Used by Manufacturers to Evaluate the Durability of Concrete Made With Blended Cements. Part I: Characterizing Blended Cement...

X Feng, Edward Garboczi, Jeffrey W. Bullard, Kenneth A. Snyder, Paul E. Stutzman, T Mason
This report summarizes a project that dealt with the characterization of a fly ash and fly-ash blended cement material, so that these could be incorporated into the Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory (VCCTL) software. The information generated

Influence of Internal Curing and Viscosity Modifiers on Resistance to Sulfate Attack

April 1, 2014
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Jeffrey M. Davis, Max A. Peltz, Kenneth A. Snyder
Sulfate attack is one of the common degradation mechanisms for concrete in severe environments. While various strategies for minimizing sulfate attack are well recognized, including using an ASTM C150 Type V cement and/or reducing water-to-cementitious

Viscosity Modifiers to Enhance Early Age Performance and Long Term Durability of Concrete

September 1, 2013
Author(s)
Dale P. Bentz, Kenneth A. Snyder, Max A. Peltz, K H. Obla, Haejin Kim
The service life distribution of concrete structures typically follows a “bathtub”-shaped function, with a finite probability of early-age failures being followed by a life with a relative low probability of failure that ultimately increases dramatically

Hydrated Phases in Blended Cement Systems and Synthetic Saltstone Grouts

June 10, 2013
Author(s)
Kenneth A. Snyder, Paul E. Stutzman
A blended binder system (10 % portland cement, 45 % fly ash, and 45 % slag) is characterized as part of a broader study of its long-term effectiveness in stabilizing treated salt waste at the Savannah River Site. The binder system is reproduced in the
