Collapsible soils are susceptible to high and relatively sudden volume change after wetting
under a specific load. They tend to have a high initial void index (more than 40%), a low …

Rapid growth in industrial development has raised the concern of proper disposal of the by-
products generated in industries. Many of them may cause serious pollution to the air, land …

The construction industry relies heavily on concrete as a building material. The coarse
aggregate makes up a substantial portion of the volume of concrete. However, the continued …

This study includes detailed information on the mechanical characteristics of the hardened
concrete mix for normal concrete (NSC) and reactive powder concrete (RPC) after exposure …

Demolition of existing deteriorated structures and construction of the new structures is a
costly, time-consuming, and resource-intensive process. Repair of concrete beams and …

This article explores fortifying cement mortars against severe sulfuric acid (SLA) attacks by
studying the impact of nano-SiO 2 (NS), macro-steel (ST), and micro-polypropylene (PP) …

The present paper focuses on the suitability, variability and versatility of thermal analysis
and calorimetry methods in the study of cement hydration as physical and chemical process …

The high-belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement (HB-CSA) has displayed outstanding acid
resistance. However, further research is needed to understand the mechanism behind its …

In our study, the influence of different supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as
metakaolins, silica fume (microsilica) or filtered coal fly ash on the performance of concrete …

The effects of global warming and climate change are important and have attracted the
attention of many researchers. Global warming is a result of the presence of increasing …
