Lightweight cementitious composite has been used in construction for thousand years.
However, before the Second World War, lightweight concrete was mainly limited to non …

Micro-computed tomography (CT) is an X-ray tomography technique with (sub) micron
resolution, typically using an X-ray tube with cone-beam geometry as a source and a …

Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties
are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is frequently used for non-destructive testing with many

Abstract Development of composite material parts requires significant research and
development effort. The fiber size, volume fraction and direction are important in determining …

Microstructural characteristics and properties of foamed concrete, a cellular lightweight
cement paste with entrained air voids, are investigated. The complex 3D microstructures of …

Insulating cementitious syntactic foams (CSFs) reinforced hollow glass microspheres
(HGMs) have been paid much attention for the growing requirement of energy savings. In …

In this paper, the pore structure parameters of foamed cement paste with densities of 500,
600, 800, and 1000 kg/m 3 were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray …

Cellular concrete is a type of lightweight concrete traditionally applied in building industry for
its thermal and acoustic insulation properties. However, in recent years, there is a surge in …

Recycling waste fishing nets (WFNs) is essential to reduce plastic litter production in the
