To enhance or extend service life of concrete elements and structures, installation of a protection system can provide a barrier between the concrete and damage from deleterious materials or conditions. This month's Q&A discusses selection of a protection system as well as adequate surface preparation prior to application of a protection system.

Adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for civil engineering applications has been relatively slow but is beginning to garner increasing attention through demonstration of practical use cases. This article explores the extent to which AI can be integrated with the SonReb method for nondestructive evaluation of concrete compressive strength in reinforced concrete structures.

The article discusses research performed by the Joint Transportation Research Program in West Lafayette, IN, USA. The study concluded that nano-titanium dioxide and two forms of colloidal nanosilica can accelerate the early-age hydration process of cementitious pastes, particularly those containing fly ash and cured at low temperatures; however, an excess of nanoparticles may reduce the scaling resistance of concrete.

New research funded by the ACI Foundation developed and tested retrofit techniques for diaphragms using externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). Key findings from the research are being translated into guidance on how to establish the effective FRP design strain and the nominal shear strength contribution of the FRP. The recommendations also address the use of intermediate and end FRP anchors and limitations on the clear spacing between sheets
