This study provides an overview of how phase change materials (PCMs) can improve the
resistance of concrete pavement to freeze–thaw cycles and mitigate the urban heat island …

Concrete is a versatile material widely used in modern construction. However, concrete is
also subject to freeze–thaw damage, which can significantly reduce its mechanical …

The structural build-up of cementitious materials is the subject of more and more attention
since it conditions several processes such as formwork pressure and multi-layer casting …

Securing safety in formwork is one of the most important tasks to be carried out in the initial
stage of construction. The form pressure exerted by fresh concrete needs to be identified …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) represents an innovative green and low-carbon construction
material, offering a viable alternative to ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPC) in building …

In seasonally frozen regions, concrete pavement is exposed to cycles of freeze-thaw and
erosion from de-icing salt, which can lead to unfavorable service conditions and vulnerability …

The bonding of cement mortar to the concrete substrate is crucial in buildings. In this study,
cement mortar was prepared using manufactured sand (MS) instead of river sand (RS). The …
