Nanomaterials (NMs) use in building materials (BMs) has still not been widely explored,
despite its boundless potential in developing novel, smart, eco-efficient and high …

This paper presents a state-of-the-art review and key information on bond strength between
ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and normal strength substrate (NSC). The reason …

The high water absorption and porosity of recycled aggregate often led to a compromised
interface transition zone (ITZ), thereby adversely impacting the mechanical properties and …

This study aims to investigate the tensile failure behaviours and corresponding fracture
mechanisms of basalt fiber reinforced lightweight-aggregate concrete (BFLAC) at various …

The bond between FRP bars and concrete, the foremost performance for implementation of
such reinforcements to corrosion-free concrete structures, is still unsatisfied due to the weak …

In order to test the engineering applicability of mixed base geopolymer concrete and
analyze the modification effect of nano additive systematically, nano silica (NS) was used to …

This study investigates the effects of nanofillers on the interfacial transition zone (ITZ)
between aggregate and cement paste by using nanoindentation and statistical …

To realize the sustainable development of concrete, it is vital to mitigate its consumption and
environmental footprint (especially CO 2 footprint) from prolonging the service life through …

Replacing micro-reinforcing fibers with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is beneficial for improving
the impact properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC); however, the weak …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with outstanding chloride penetration resistance
(CPR) exhibits excellent prospects for extending the service life of structures in the marine …
