The residual properties of shielding structures need to be redefined after exposure to
elevated temperatures due to their probable radiological hazards on biodiversity. In this …

In this study, the effect of polypropylene (PP) fiber utilization ratio on the fresh and some
hardened properties of mortar mixtures containing colemanite waste (CW), which mainly …

The widespread use of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), which has a significant carbon
footprint, greatly contributes to the climate crisis. High belite cement (HBC) is renowned for …

Belite-rich cement (BRC) has gained increased attention in recent years due to its low
energy consumption and high long-term performance. However, the carbonation behavior of …

During copper ore smelting process, large amount of copper slag is created, which has
excellent use in variance ways. In the common case, copper slag were deposited on the …

This study investigated the thermophysical properties in terms of thermal conductivity, heat
capacity, thermal diffusivity, density, compressive strength, water absorption, and sorptivity of …

Abstract Magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH) 2) is commonly used as flame retardant chemical
additive in polymers. In this study, the effect of Mg (OH) 2 on pore structure and mechanical …
