The study is focused on ultra-light foam concrete (FC) aimed as a thermal insulation
material. Two important properties of such material were investigated: compressive strength …

The paper presents the results of the analysis of the thermal cracking patterns and fracture
zone of microsilica-modified cement matrix made of the low-alkali cement. The material was …

This paper investigates the effects caused by Tritium released from spent nuclear fuel (SNF)
stored into a spent nuclear pool made of (reinforced) concrete. The release of tritium from …

Brick residues, such as brick dust and crushed brick, have been diachronically used in
historic mortars, both as binders and aggregates. Their application served as a mean to …

Modeling studies of the effect of cement type, aggregate type and w/c ratio on the bound
water amount and shielding properties against neutron ionising radiation of concretes are …

The mechanical performance of cold asphalt mixtures (CAM) can be improved by using
cement additions, but it is unclear how this affects the dynamics of water evaporation during …

This paper aims to elucidate the effect of changes in the mix composition on the properties of
Portland cement (PC)-metakaolin (MK)-limestone (LS) ternary system. To achieve this, the …

This paper investigates the influence of the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the
structure of cracking patterns (CPs), which is the main novelty, of cement pastes subjected to …

Cement is the strength-forming component of concrete. It has been a major building material
for more than a century. However, its production is accountable for a considerable …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is a material developed to maximize the
engineering characteristics of hydraulic concrete, in terms of durability and mechanical …
