In thermal power plants, pulverized coal combusts to give an intricate composition of
anthropogenic materials such as fly ash (coal). These materials are a major threat to …

Coal fly ash (CFA) is a major global pollutant produced by thermal power plants during the
generation of electricity. A significant amount of coal fly ash is dumped every year in the near …

This paper presents a newly developed high strain-hardening, lightweight, engineered
cementitious composites, using fly ash cenospheres as the filler. That has tensile strain …

Concrete is brittle in nature which is why different materials have been used to improve this
inherent behavior of concrete. In this experimental study, the effect of simultaneous use of …

Nano-silica was used to improve the microstructures, mechanical properties and durability
performances of ultra-lightweight cement composites (ULCC) in this paper. The combined …

Ultra-high toughness cementitious composites (UHTCCs) belong to a family of fiber-
reinforced cementitious composites with strain-hardening behavior under tension. Such …

This paper presents the development and performance assessment of a novel ultra-
lightweight high ductility cement composite (ULHDCC) incorporated with fly ash …

This article proposes a lightweight engineered geopolymer composite (LW-EGC) that
combines functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polyvinyl alcohol …

The use of pozzolanic waste materials as partial cement replacement is customary in
contemporary concretes from a sustainability perspective. In this experimental study, the …

The use of lightweight concrete (LWC) for structural and non-structural applications has
attracted great interest in recent years. The main benefits include reduced deadload of …
