Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous
media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the …

The rheological behavior of cement slurries is important in trying to prevent and eliminate
gas-migration related problems in oil well applications. In this paper, we review the …

The interface of aggregate and cementitious phase largely determines the mechanical
properties and durability performances of cement mortar and concrete. This work …

Calcium sulfoaluminate–belite (CSAB) cements are promoted as sustainable alternatives to
portland cement because of their lower energy and CO2 emissions during production and …

Mineralogical transformations during firing of two extremely calcareous clays, one calcite
and other dolomite rich, and relatively poor in silica were studied. Original clays were …

Nature has developed numerous design motifs by arranging modest materials into complex
architectures. The damage-tolerant, double-bouligand architecture found in the coelacanth …

The distribution and wettability of water molecules on the surface of different cement
hydration products have a close influence on the transport behavior of water in the gel pores …

This paper presents an experimental study on the properties of self-compacting concrete
(SCC) subjected to high temperature. Two SCC mixtures and one vibrated concrete mixture …

In microscopy studies of 19th‐century cement stone, we found free lime in the form of
darkened spherical structures, as they were described in the literature already. When trying …

The effect of casting and curing temperature on concrete-epoxy-concrete interfacial bond
strength was evaluated. To cover a wide range of climatic conditions, six different …
