To retrofit a fire damaged structural element, it is important to understand the extent of
thermal exposure of such structural element. It is presumed that the extent of damage of fire …

Conventional ordinary Portland cement (OPC)-based UHPC is vulnerable to explosive
spalling under high temperatures. This study aims to classify the role of calcium aluminate …

In this study, the macro properties (residual compressive strength), meso properties
(mesoscopic images), and micro properties (reaction products and pore structures) of paste …

In the past decades, nanomaterials have become one of the focal points in civil engineering
research. When added to cement-based construction materials (eg, concrete), it results in …

The focus of this study is the production and testing of a new self-compacting geopolymer
concrete (SCGC). The concrete has excellent self-compacting properties, mechanical …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is distinguished by its exceptional strength,
ductility, and durability, largely due to its dense particle packing and reinforcement with short …

Low-carbon emission mortar samples were prepared using reactivated cementitious
materials (RCMs) produced by calcinating hydrated cement paste with adjusted Ca/Si ratios …

The paper studied the effect of pre-carbonation on the C–S–H structure and investigated the
positive effect of pre-carbonation on enhancing the stability of cement paste at high …

This study investigates the efficacy of post-fire curing using carbonation with a 20% carbon
dioxide concentration and a relative humidity cycle set between 40% and 90% for restoring …

Water re-curing has been recognized as a potential method to recover the mechanical
strength and durability of heat-damaged cement-based materials, which benefits from the …
