Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) combines advanced fibrous and cementitious
material technologies to achieve high strength and exceptional durability. The material tends …

Concrete-known for its inert properties-plays a pivotal role in nuclear and radioactive waste
storage, providing a robust barrier against radiation. Blended concrete made up of …

Nuclear energy offers a wide range of applications, which include power generation, X-ray
imaging, and non-destructive tests, in many economic sectors. However, such applications …

Mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) is a vital method for assessing the pore structure of
cement-based porous materials (CBPMs), but its applicability remains to be clarified. Herein …

Recycling of waste rubber into concrete is one of the most efficacious and environmentally-
friendly methods to solve the so-called black pollution. However, the incorporation of waste …

This paper reviews the methods adopted to produce high-performance concrete (HPC) and
ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC). The chronological development of these concretes …

Barite in Malaysia is limited; therefore, a locally available alternative source must be
identified to meet the requirements of high-density concrete for radiation shielding. We …

Minerals, for instance barite and hematite, absorb γ-rays better than silica aggregates
because of their higher density. The use of these minerals as main component in ultra-high …

Ultra high performance concrete refers to a class of advanced and engineered cementitious
composite materials that have a superior mechanical and durability properties, compared to …

Polyethylene (PE) fibers are widely used to develop high strength Strain-Hardening
Cementitious Composites (SHCC). Unlike Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fiber, which has relatively …
