This review article proposes the identification and basic concepts of materials that might be
used for the production of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high-performance …

Incorporating waste by-products in concrete is one of the critical approaches for sustainable
development. Particularly, iron ore tailings (IOT) as ordinary industrial solid waste in China is …

This study presents a review of residual strength properties of normal and high strength
concrete exposed elevated temperatures: the implication of natural and recycled …

Fibers reinforcement which is an effective mean to improve the cracking resistance of high
performance concrete (HPC) is widely applied in practice. The early-age cracking resistance …

The high carbon emissions in the construction industry and the large-scale storage of high
silicon iron ore tailings (IOTs, SiO 2> 60% wt., Fe 2 O 3> 10% wt.) associated with mining …

Significant research is being conducted to identify alternative sources of supplementary
cementitious materials (SCM) worldwide. With the shortage of fly ash, due to the shut-down …

High strength concrete (HSC) containing silica fume (SF) is widely utilized in construction
practices, and its cracking resistance attracts considerable attentions. Previous studies …

The macro-crack is wide-spread in concrete structure, especially the width> 0.5 mm, which is
hard to be sealed with its self-healing capacity. This research investigated the synergetic …

In this work, the effect of the partial replacement of cement by alternatives derived from
waste glass and silica fume on the hygrothermal behavior of concrete was investigated. For …

High strength concrete (HSC) possessing high strength and excellent durability has been
widely put into use in the reinforced concrete structures. However, a low water-to-cement …
