The freeze–thaw durability of concrete is an important factor for determining the service life
of concrete in cold regions. This overview expounds three stages of freeze–thaw damage in …

A single ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) demands around 4.0 G Joule energy and
creates about a ton of CO 2 emission. As part of our effort to preserve the environment, the …

Introduction The vast increase in CO2 and waste generation in recent decades has been a
major obstacle to sustainable development and sustainability. In construction industry, the …

This paper presents a comparative study on the mechanical and durability properties of
concrete mixtures containing conventional supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) …

An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the impact of silica fume (SF), marble
slurry powder (MSP), and fly ash (FA) on the mechanical properties and abrasion resistance …

Demolition waste and cement production is responsible for 36% of total waste produced on
earth and 8% of the worlds CO 2 emissions, respectively. Due to limited research on …

The addition of nanomaterials affects the workability of cementitious composites by reducing
the free water available within the mixtures. In order to address this issue, the present study …

An increasing number of countries worldwide are setting goals for carbon neutrality. To
achieve these goals as quickly as possible, the concrete industry needs to adopt new …

The synergistic effects of freezing-thawing (FRTH) cycles and chloride ion (Cl−) penetration
in concrete caused amplified damage and complex degradation mechanisms. This study …

Waste generated from coal mining and consumption causes severe pollution. This study
used open-pit mine road aggregate (OMRA), ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) …
