Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is a crucial component in cementitious materials which
greatly contributes to the strength and properties of cement-based concrete. However …

This paper intends to contribute to a better knowledge of the dehydration and rehydration of
blended SCMs (SF, FA, GGBS, LS)-cement pastes. To this end, a comprehensive …

In this paper, molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the effects of temperature on
the transport of chloride and sulfate in the nanopores of aluminum-doped cement-based …

The mechanical properties of cement will deteriorate after decalcification but will increase
with the increasing strain rate. However, the mechanisms are not evident. Therefore, the …

Determining the amine molecules behaviors in the nanochannels enables the interpretation
of the microstructure and macroscopic properties of amines modified cement based …

Polyurethane (PU) grouting materials play a crucial role in trenchless rehabilitation with their
mechanical properties significantly influenced by the cross-linking degree and cross-linking …

In epoxy-amine based self-healing cement-based materials, the uncontrollable
stoichiometric ratio of both components in the cracks leads to the cured epoxy resin with …

Ferroaluminate cement is widely used in marine engineering applications owing to the
remarkable durability and strength of its main hydrate, Al (Fe)–ettringite. The structure and …

The effects of a 0, 0.2 wt.%, 0.6 wt.%, 1.0 wt.%, 1.4 wt.% and 1.8 wt.% calcium hydroxide
content on the microstructure and performance of super sulfated cement (SSC) were …

The wide application of surfactants in cement-based materials requires the understanding of
the influence of surfactants on the structure and properties of C–S–H gel. In this study, cation …
