Concrete infrastructures in marine atmosphere zone environment face the threat of chloride
ions aerosol erosion, which can lead to the corrosion of steel bars and shorten the service …

The global expansion of agricultural production increases agricultural waste ash (AWA).
Accordingly, AWA should be disposed to preserve the environment. This study focuses on …

Fourteen raw slag samples were collected from different steel companies from China, using
which setting, mechanical and early-age microstructural behaviours of alkali-activated slag …

The application of seawater-mixed concrete can effectively reduce the use of the freshwater
for concrete production. Moreover, the steel fibers added into concrete matrix can improve its …

Utilization of nano-silica is an effective method to improve the early properties of blended
cement containing high-volume slag. In current work, the hydration of blended cement with …

This paper investigated the influence of nano-silica (NS) on the mechanical and transport
properties of lightweight concrete (LWC). The resistance of LWC to water and chloride ions …

GGBS is used extensively as a cement replacement material, reducing the carbon footprint
of cement while potentially improving technical performance. However, standards consider …

This article aims at defining an effective global warming potential criterion for qualifying a
concrete mixture based on a CO 2 calculation and durability performance tests, as well as …

The synergistic effects of freezing-thawing (FRTH) cycles and chloride ion (Cl−) penetration
in concrete caused amplified damage and complex degradation mechanisms. This study …

Aluminium and grey cast iron slags are produced in small industries and in spite of
blastfurnace slag are considered as wastes. In this work, synthesis possibility of …
