Presented within is a critical overview of the effect of sulfates on cement hydration,
properties, and optimum sulfate content in Portland cement. Calcium sulfate is used in …

A highly efficient mixture design should have a good balance among workability, strength,
durability, economic efficiency, and sustainability. Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) …

The impact of CSH seeding on the hydration of slag blended cement was systematically
investigated, trying to understand and explore the potential of CSH seeding in blended …

The early hydration of UHPC can be retarded by the low water/binder ratio, the high
polycarboxylate superplasticizers dosage, and the large supplementary cementitious …

This paper presents results of tests of modified concretes both with the addition of coal fly
ash (CFA) ash and with an innovative nanoadmixture (NA). The NA is used to accelerate the …

This paper investigated the characteristics of synthesized calcium silicate hydrate (CSH)
during the carbonation process and the effects of CSH and carbonated CSH (CCSH) seeds …

CSH seeding in Portland cements is well known from basic scientific works and field
applications. Moreover, this activation approach could be beneficial for low-CO 2 cements …

This study reports the effects of combined application of calcium silicate hydrate seed-
Polycarboxylate (CS-Hs-PCE) and sodium sulfate (SS) on the hydration kinetics and …

Urban waste accumulation has changed the landscape of cities through environmental
pollution. This detrimental change is pushing the development of advanced and green …

Reducing cement CO2 footprint is a societal need. This is being achieved mainly by
replacing an increasing amount of Portland clinker by supplementary cementitious …
