The inferior mechanical properties and durability of conventional lightweight concrete restrict
its wider application. This study intended to design a novel lightweight ultra high …

This study conducted a comprehensive investigation into concrete creep. First, the creep
mechanisms and parameters of high-strength lightweight concrete (HSLC) were introduced …

The highly dense structure which causes the risk of explosive spalling is one of the major
limitations of using ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC). This study developed a …

To solve the shortage issue of high-quality construction aggregates in desert areas and
improve the utilization rate of aeolian sand, this study introduces the mix design and …

An increasing number of automobile vehicles generates an enormous quantity of waste
rubber tires, WRTs, at the end of their service life. When disposed of in landfills and …

Pre-saturated lightweight sand (LWS) and shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) can be used
to mitigate autogenous shrinkage of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). However …

Red mud is a solid waste containing high alkaline nature and hazardous elements
generated during the alumina production process, and its harmless utilization is of great …

The modern energy-saving vector of development in building materials science is being
implemented in a complex way through the development of new heat-insulating materials …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has high mechanical strengths and durability, but
its density and carbon footprint are usually high. This paper developed a lightweight UHPC …

To prepare high-performance concrete, the mixing water was normally blended with the dry
constituents directly, whereas in this study part of water was pre-located in the lightweight …
