Chemical deformation (chemical shrinkage/expansion), the absolute volume change during reactions, is a key parameter influencing the volume stability, especially the autogenous …
Geopolymers seem to be a good alternative to ordinary Portland cement to reduce the carbon footprint of the construction industry. However, their durability over time is still a …
Abstract The American Concrete Institute in 2010 defined internal curing as “supplying water throughout a freshly placed cementitious mixture using reservoirs, via pre-wetted lightweight …
