Geopolymers are novel cementitious materials that have the potential to replace
conventional Portland cement composites completely. The production of geopolymer …

Lightweight cementitious composite has been used in construction for thousand years.
However, before the Second World War, lightweight concrete was mainly limited to non …

Lightweight ECC (LWECC) has been extensively concerned due to its superior tensile
performance, durability and low self-weight. However, the high environmental impact and …

It is highly desirable to achieve better self-healing performance of high-strength engineered
cementitious composite (ECC) incorporating hydrophobic polyethylene (PE) fibers. This …

Demolition waste and cement production is responsible for 36% of total waste produced on
earth and 8% of the worlds CO 2 emissions, respectively. Due to limited research on …

The effective utilization of mineral resources and the sustainable management of solid waste
from open-pit mines have gained significant attention in recent years. In this study, the …

Lightweight engineering cementitious composites (LECCs) show great promise for weight-
