In recent years, with the development of materials science and architectural art, ensuring the
safety of modern buildings is the top priority while they are developing toward higher, lighter …

CSH seeds have potential application as accelerators in oil well cementing pastes. Typical
oil well conditions present elevated temperatures; nevertheless, is not clear how such …

Understanding the early-age hydration kinetics of cemented paste backfill (CPB) is
necessary for its successful application. In this paper, the early-age hydration heat evolution …

Abstract Very early age (0–20 h) concrete hydration is a complicated chemical reaction.
During the very early age period, the concrete condition dramatically changes from liquid …

Digital transformation of concrete technology is one of the current “hot topics” tackled by both
academia and industry. The final goal is to fully integrate the already existing advanced …

The kinetics of alkali activation of slag is highly dependent on the activator type and its
chemical constitution. This paper explores the early-age reaction kinetics of slag activated …

Many calorimetric studies have been carried out to investigate the reaction process of alkali-
activated slag paste. However, the origin of the induction period and action mechanism of …

This study examined the benefits of adding microencapsulated phase change materials
(PCMs) to concrete pavement sections so as to limit temperature rise and the development …

The integrity of cast-in-place foundation piles is a major concern in geotechnical
engineering. In this study, distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) cables, embedded in a pile …

This paper describes the contribution of Fabry–Perot (FP) fiber optic temperature sensor to
investigate the effects of concrete hydration process. The FP temperature sensor was easily …
