Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) demonstrates relatively high autogenous
shrinkage at early age due to the use of high binder content and low water-to-binder ratio of …

Cement and concrete are hard-to-abate industrial sectors for decarbonization due to
growing demand driven by rapid urbanization, population growth, and the considerable …

Green concrete is a sustainable composite material having natural and waste materials
replacing carbon dioxide gas-producing cement, and aggregates in the concrete. Thus, it …

Concrete strength is dependent upon not only the water to cement ratio but also different
constituents of the concrete. The inclusion of natural zeolite (NZ) as an effective …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is often designed with a low water-to-binder ratio,
which can potentially limit the hydration of cement particles. To address the hydration …

Applied electric fields, the reason behind stray currents, accelerate the ingress of sulfate into
cementitious materials. To identify mitigation approaches, this study investigates the effects …

To decrease the environmental and climatic effects of rising concrete consumption, more
environmentally friendly concretes are required. One approach to achieve this goal is using …

Lignocellulosic biomass can be converted into more valuable products by high-temperature
treatment causing the formation of bio-oil. However, the complex structure of lignocellulosic …

Heavy metals are one of the major chemical pollutant groups in urban runoff. The
application of porous concrete is a potential alternative to conventional runoff management …
