This paper introduces a microbial product, termed 'biocement', and its role in construction
engineering. Biocement, a novel metabolic by-product of microbially induced carbonate …

The manufacture of natural pozzolans as cement products is economically affordable and
contributes to CO2 mitigation in the cement-based materials industry. Through two …

Early-age hydration of ordinary Portland cement is now acknowledged to originate from
nucleation and crystal growth of calcium–silicate–hydrates. The acceleration mechanism of …

Biomass combustion produces renewable energy, but generates hazardous ash that must
be disposed. High-volume of fine ash from the biomass combustion could be a harmful …

Reductions in bleeding rates and bulk shrinkage of grouting repair materials comprise the
key to solving the leakage of earth–rock dams. In this paper, an anti-seepage grouting …

Increases in population and consequent increases in the volume of treated water have
increased the amount of sludge produced in water treatment plants (WTPs), which can …

Switching to low carbon fuel (LCF) can help the cement industry reduce carbon dioxide (CO
2) emissions effectively. This is because LCF generates energy that can lower the coal …
