This paper provides an overview of the use of nanoclays in cement-based materials. The
effect of nanoclays on shear rheological properties will be discussed, with a focus on …

Limitations in guidelines and standards on the amount of clay in sand and coarse aggregate
micro-fines and the influence of such micro-fines on fresh and hardened concrete properties …

Enhanced grid reconstruction ability of oil well cement paste has been confirmed as a
promising solution to inhibit particle sedimentation caused by the uncontrolled rheological …

Impermeable pavements cover a considerable land area in cities. Their effect on the
hydrological cycle is clear; as a barrier in the soil–atmosphere continuum they minimise …

The presence of clay particles on coarse aggregate is usually encountered in actual field
conditions and may have an adverse influence on concrete properties. However, several …

The needs for research on cementitious materials are reviewed with a focus on Europe.
These are considered under 8 topics: clinker production, alternatives to Portland cement …

Mixing, paving, and compaction of hot asphalt mixtures results in the formation of a three-
phase system in which aggregates are represented in different fractions including subsieve …

The rapid-hardening method employing the injection of calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA)
cement mortar into voids between preplaced ballast aggregates has recently emerged as a …

Air-entrained wet shotcrete improves the pipeline transportation efficiency of concrete. The
characteristics of the fine aggregate in the mix have different effects on the fluidity and …

The previous researches have proved distributing-filling coarse aggregate (DFCA) process
is an efficient approach to improve the performance of concrete. To clarify the technical …
