To sustain the decarbonization of the cement industry, identifying new sources of
supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is crucial. This review paper examines recent …

The use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in seawater–sea sand concrete
(SSSC) enhances the concrete performance as well as helps in reducing the excessive …

Ultrafine blast furnace slag is a type of active mineral admixture used in high-strength
concrete. However, it always causes ultrahigh temperature rise and autogenous shrinkage …

The influence of NaOH on pore structure, reaction kinetics, volume, and morphology of
reaction products in high-volume-fly-ash mixtures was explored by two mixing methods:(i) …

Accelerated testing of alkali silica reaction (ASR) in concrete at elevated temperatures of 38
and 60° C has an unknown impact on the alkali metal distribution in the cement paste. This …

The pore solution composition (OH−, Na+, K+, Ca 2+ and SO 4 2-, S 2 O 3 2-, S 2-
concentrations) of hardened concrete materials, including binary systems of PC mixed with a …

Abstract In this work, Cold Water Extraction (CWE) was performed on blended cement
pastes to extract the pore solution and determine the free alkali metal content. To better …

The feasibility of partially replacing pulverized fly ash (PFA) with municipal solid waste
incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) to produce ambient-cured geopolymers was investigated. The …

This study investigates the effectiveness of cellulose nanofibers (CNF) in enhancing the long-
term durability performance of ordinary portland cement (OPC) composites against sulfate …

In order to establish storages in mining goaf, calcium bentonite (Ca-B), slag powder (SP)
and silica fume (SF) were added into the backfill to obtain a cemented backfill with high …
