Phosphogypsum (PG) is a type of synthetic gypsum generated during the production of
phosphoric acid. Each ton of phosphoric acid generates 5 tons of phosphogypsum. This …

This paper is a bibliographic tool reviewing experimental and theoretical studies related to
cement hydration and microstructure development that have been published within the four …

Pore structure of leached cement pastes (w/c= 0.5) was studied for the first time from micro-
scale down to the nano-scale by combining micro-and nano-X-ray computed tomography …

Abstract Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is an advanced construction material
exhibiting tensile strain-hardening and multiple-cracking behavior. The tensile performance …

Abstract Interfacial Transition Zones (ITZ) with high porosity are easier pathways for damage
initiation and propagation. However, their mechanical performance has hardly been …

The electrical resistivity of hardened cement-based materials was measured in this work by
a modified noncontact electrical resistivity measurement (MN-CM). The resistivity was further …

Mechanical performance of modified mortar using hemp fibres is studied following various
processing conditions. Hemp fibres combined with carbon nanotubes (CNT) are introduced …

A 3D numerical modeling is presented in this paper in order to highlight and quantify the
contribution of ITZ properties on both elastic and inelastic compressive behaviors of mortar …

The increasing demand for cement-based materials has led to significant energy
expenditure and greenhouse gas emissions. To produce more sustainable cementitious …

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) methods (imaging and relaxation time) allow to study
the water content and the pore size distribution in cementitious materials. Hydration of …
