Concrete has a tremendous influence on the environment since the majority of its
composition is cement, which is a material that emits high levels of carbon dioxide. It is …

Cement-based materials, including cement and concrete, are the most widely used
construction materials in the world. In recent years, the investigation and application of …

Low heat Portland (LHP) cement has been widely used in hydraulic projects in China, while
the relatively low early strength limits its further application in engineering. In this study, the …

The crack resistance and durability of face slab concrete are two important factors
determining the normal operation and safety of concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs). This …

Magnesium oxysulfate (MOS) cement is a typical eco-friendly cementitious material, which
presents excellent performances. In this work, a novel multiscale modeling strategy is …

Enhancing cracking resistance of face slab concrete is essential for the structural integrity
and normal operation of concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). In this study, the effects of …

Cement-based materials are widely utilized in infrastructure. The main product of hydrated
products of cement-based materials is calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels that are …

Currently, low heat Portland (LHP) cement is widely used in mass concrete structures. The
magnesia expansion agent (MgO) can be adopted to reduce the shrinkage of conventional …

The hydraulic concrete structures commonly suffer from severe dissolution. Dissolution has
a great influence on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, which would be …

In cement-based materials, alkalis mainly exist in the form of different alkali sulfates. In this
study, the impacts of different alkali sulfates on the shrinkage, hydration, pore structure …
