Nano materials are well known for their excellent performance over a wide range of
applications. Several studies have examined the effective utilization of nano particles in …

The application of lightweight aggregates (LWA) in concrete is aimed mainly at the reduction
of weight, improvements of durability, or better thermal and acoustic properties. However …

The coupled effect of fatigue load and freeze-thaw cycles may cause damage to concrete
structures. This paper explores the potential of alternating current (AC) electric impedance …

The natural aggregate fraction in recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) can yield initial damage
during service and repeated crushing, which might affect the performance of recycled …

This study appraised the feasibility of recycled carbon black (RCB) derived from scrapped off-
the-road (OTR) tires, denoted as RCB-OTR, as aggregates to develop thermal insulation …

Releasable sulfate contained in the Excess Sulfate Phosphogypsum Cementing System
(ESPCS) potentially degrades interfaces when contacted with conventional cements, raising …

Cement-based materials (CBMs) are multiscale composites whose macroscopic properties
largely depend on their micro/nanoscale features. Micro and nanomechanical properties of …

Phosphogypsum-based cold bonded aggregates (PCBAs), as incorporates excessive
soluble sulfate, potentially induce Internal Sulfate Attack (ISA) corrosion to OPC, which …

Pull-out tests of fibres were conducted using slow cyclic tension to evaluate the behaviour of
the bond between cement paste and steel fibres with different types of surface roughness …

This study aims to evaluate the physical, mechanical, permeability, and durability
characteristics of pervious geopolymer concrete (PGC) made with recycled concrete …
