In this study, hydration of mortars containing portland cement of three different finenesses
and prepared at four different water-to-cement ratios (w/c) were investigated using …

The degree of hydration assessment of cement paste from differential thermal and
thermogravimetric analysis data has been performed by several authors that have offered a …

This paper studies the heat evolution and compressive behavior of KOH activated
geopolymer materials based on low-calcium fly ash, metakaolin, and fly ash with slag. An …

This article demonstrates the possibility of producing alkali-activated materials (AAM) from a
mixture of mechanically processed concrete, ceramic, masonry, and mortar wastes, as a …

CSH seeds have potential application as accelerators in oil well cementing pastes. Typical
oil well conditions present elevated temperatures; nevertheless, is not clear how such …

Phosphogypsum (PG) is an industry solid waste produced from phosphoric acid
manufacture. To reduce environmental pollution of the PG, H 2 C 2 O 4 was employed to …

Digital transformation of concrete technology is one of the current “hot topics” tackled by both
academia and industry. The final goal is to fully integrate the already existing advanced …

The relative effects of nanoparticles (NPs) of dry powdered nSiO 2, nAl 2 O 3, and nCaCO 3
and colloidal nSiO 2 (in size range of 10–40 nm) on the hydration kinetics and apparent …

High-temperature differentials in a mass concrete structure pose great risks of temperature-
induced stresses and cracking. Prior knowledge of temperature development within such a …

Fly ash is a widely used supplementary cementitious material in the world. Mechanical
activation, as a potential approach, can realize maximum bulk utilization of fly ash. In this …
