With the rapid development of alkali-activated concrete (AAC) as a promising sustainable
concrete, it is vital to thoroughly understand the microstructural characteristics and …

Because of their brittleness, traditional Portland cement-based composites are inherently
weaker under tensile loads. This issue becomes worse in geopolymer (GPL) composites by …

Ultra-high performance geopolymer concrete (UHPGC) has become of interest in recent
years as a more economical and sustainable alternative while offering similar mechanical …

This study aims to optimize the mechanical properties of one-part alkali-activated mortar
(OPAAM) containing recycled plastic aggregates (RPA) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) …

In order to study the role of calcium sulfate as activator in cementitious composites, mixtures
with different calcium sulfate content ratios were designed. On the basis of satisfying the …

This study aims to optimize the critical parameters of self-compacting geopolymer concrete
(SCGC) with a primary focus on enhancing compressive strength. Optimization of SCGC …

The interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between cementitious materials and rock aggregate is a
frequent site for local cracks and damage in concrete, significantly impacting its mechanical …

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has a tendency to spall and lose its strength at high
temperatures, rendering it brittle. This research incorporates graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) …

This research explores the use of cup lump rubber (CLR), an agricultural by-product, as a
component in controlled low-strength material (CLSM) for pavement applications in road …

In modern engineering, dynamic fracture failure because of unexpected load or human
faults may lead to catastrophic disasters. Preventive structure design and real-time maintain …
