Utilization of green concrete in construction is increasingly adopted by the construction
industry owing to the drawbacks of conventional concrete and the numerous inherent …

A well-known fact is that the mechanical properties of cement-based materials largely
depend on the material structure at the micro-and nano-scales. To understand and improve …

Recycled crumb rubber is a material created by grinding and commutating used tyres. There
is no doubt that the increasing piles of tyres create environmental concerns. The long term …

This study considers the influences of maximum aggregate size (d max) on fracture
parameters and brittleness of self-compacting lightweight concrete. A series of three point …

Engineering cement-based composites requires a comprehensive understanding of the
microstructure features governing macroscopic properties. This work aims to foster the latest …

Current demand for novel highly sustainable concrete urges improving the links between
chemical and mechanical effects of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the …

In order to mitigate the thermal damage of steam curing process at elevated temperature on
microstructure of concrete and thus prepare high quality steam-cured concrete, the effects of …

The good overall properties of ceramsite concrete give it more potential value in the
application of shotcrete lining in high geothermal environments. In this study, an orthogonal …

Shotcrete is formed by the construction method of spraying and pouring fine stone concrete
under a pressure spray gun. With the development of urban green and low-carbon …

The mechanical-, physical-and durability-properties of cementitious composites depend on
the material structure and its interaction behaviour at the micro and nano scales. To tailor the …
