This review paper aims to provide an inclusive characterization of the use of concrete in
additive manufacturing by exploring the various parameters that affect the extrudability …

One of the widely used methods for improving the engineering performance of problematic
soils is in-situ or ex-situ mixing using various additives (conventionally cement and lime). In …

Cement-based composites may experience higher temperatures during their service period
due to fire. After fire exposure, the concrete properties may be significantly affected in terms …

Nano-SiO 2 is a brilliant candidate that endows cement-based materials excellent
properties. However, its agglomeration in cement matrix is still an urgent problem. In order to …

Contribution/Originality: The study investigated the strength of concrete produced with
locally sourced aggregates in Anambra State at different cement proportions. And a …

Abstract Rapid Hardening Portland Cement (RHPC) is used in sites where high initial
strength is required and or at instances where removal of formwork is to be done at an early …

Abstract Formulation of high-performance cement mortar matrices reinforced with varying
aspect ratios of carbon nanotubes and carbon fibers have been devised. Investigations on …

Concrete is the most widely used construction material worldwide. The concrete mainly
consists of cement, water, fine aggregate (FA), and coarse aggregate (CA). CA is the main …

Nanomaterials hold immense potential for transforming the field of civil engineering, offering
enhanced performance and durability to infrastructure materials. However, their successful …

It is well researched that concrete is weak in tension and thus has brittle characteristics
resulting in less post-cracking ductility. To alleviate this problem, nano-silica and hook …
