This paper is a keynote presentation from the 13th International Congress on the Chemistry
of Cement. It discusses the underlying principles of hydration and recent evidence for the …

In this review we focus on the technology associated with low-field NMR. We present the
current state-of-the-art in low-field NMR hardware and experiments, considering general …

This paper presents a new idea based on the efficient use of recycled Construction and
Demolition Waste to produce advanced building materials, which focus on the development …

Temperature affects the properties of concrete through its effect on the hydration of cement
and its associated microstructural development. This paper focuses on the modifications to …

This paper develops a novel lattice diffusive model to quantitatively study the chloride
diffusion coefficient in unsaturated cementitious materials, in which the pore voxels are …

Leaching of hydration products in cement-based materials may reduce the service life of
concrete constructions, such as radioactive waste disposal containers and hydro structures …

The nanoscale morphology of, and pore water interactions in, calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–
H), the active component of cement, remain uncertain. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance …

Pore structure characteristics of cementitious materials play a critical role in the transport
properties of concrete structures. This paper develops a novel framework for modeling …

The macroscopic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified reactive powder concrete
(RPC) composites are closely related to their pore structure characteristics, but the structural …

This paper examines the mechanisms of desorption within cement pastes for
superabsorbent polymers (SAP) with different sorption kinetics: retentive and non-retentive …
