Nowadays, nanomaterials synthesis and its utilization in development in composite
materials has become one of the trending research areas and have various practical …

To reduce the life-cycle carbon emissions of cementitious composites, potential pathways
are to use more low-carbon raw materials, enhance the composites' performance and further …

This paper aims to investigate the fracture properties and microscopic mechanisms of multi-
scale nano-SiO 2 (NS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced cementitious composites …

This is the first attempt to investigate the effect of micro-sized lead oxide (mPbO) on the
properties of alkali-activated slag (AAS) mortars. Various ratios of mPbO ranging from 2.5 …

Nowadays, special concrete-like self-compacting concrete (SCC) requires sustainability by
introducing recycled aggregates as a partial replacement for natural aggregate …

The fracture properties of concrete are greatly affected by strain rate, and changes in fracture
parameters can reflect the crack resistance and failure mechanism of concrete. In this study …

Lightweight concrete must contain lightweight aggregates that are more susceptible to
segregation than traditional concrete. Concrete has increasingly used lightweight fillers but …

In this research, the effect of varying cement substitution materials on the fracture behavior of
self-compacting lightweight concrete (SCLC) was experimented with using work of fracture …

The reinforcing effect of basalt fibers (BFs) on the performance of concrete mainly relies on
the bridging effect of fibers, while recently, it has been shown that nano-silica (NS) may …

Traditional cementitious materials exhibit low strength and poor durability, which cannot
keep up with the requirements of modern concrete infrastructure. The small particle size and …
