Aerial mortars and plasters have been widely used in construction throughout history, and
their compatibility with historic mortars and plasters has led to their recent re-adoption. This …

Storing CO 2 in building materials is an effective way to utilizing CO 2 and mitigating climate
change. This study presents a new approach connecting the decarbonization of the coal-to …

Abstract Within the Topical Collection, this paper represents an introductory contribution
aimed at describing and discussing the research questions and the sampling criteria in the …

In the search of more environmentally-friendly construction materials, the use of natural-
based fibers has gained much attention as reinforcement in the inorganic-based matrix. In …

This work aims at evaluating the influence of curing conditions on the carbonation process of
lime-based mortars and pastes and on the resulting mineralogical, macro-and …

The emergence of the modern Portland cement has led to the downfall of lime as a
construction material. Consequentially, its use has been limited to repair and restoration of …

Physical, mechanical and carbonation progress properties of air lime mortars, formulated
with the addition of air entrainers, were analyzed, aiming to investigate the influence of air …

To accelerate the carbonation of lime, mortar samples were cured in chambers with high CO
2 concentration. Two types of lime mortar were prepared, which are similar to Roman mortar …

This study has been carried out in two-phases to develop Fiber Reinforced Self-Compacting
Concrete (FRSCC) performance. In the first phase, the composition of the quaternary …

Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) have two major environmental benefits compared to
traditional cement-based materials: reducing greenhouse gas emissions and recycling …
