Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) featuring extraordinary tensile ductility is a
promising option for many structural applications but its large-scale manufacture is not eco …

The use of fly ash in concrete dates back to the late 20 th century and its advantages and
disadvantages had been widely researched. Despite the broad based research carried out …

It is well known that an increase in the compressive strength of cementitious composites is
usually accompanied by a loss of tensile ductility. Designing and developing ultra-high …

Self-healing is recognized as a promising technique for increasing the durability of concrete
structures by healing cracks, thereby reducing the need for maintenance activities over the …

Fly ash is the fine solid particulate residue driven out of the boiler with the flue gases in coal-
fired power plants. Now it can be used for making geopolymer which acts as a cement-like …

While interest in 3D printing of concrete (3DCP) and structures has been growing, a major
obstacle for implementation of 3DP construction method is the need for steel reinforcement …

Cement‐based sensors (CBSs) have demonstrated potential in structural health monitoring
(SHM) despite rare applications due to their poor flexibility and sensing accuracy/protection …

In this study, fly ash (FA)-dominated High-Strength Engineered Geopolymer Composites
(HS-EGC) were designed and developed. The influence of alkalinity and the underlying …

Artificial geopolymer aggregate is an emerging technology in the field of solid waste
recycling, aiming to ease the exploitation of natural aggregates as well as reduce the …

Concrete is very sensitive to crack formation. As wide cracks endanger the durability, repair
may be required. However, these repair works raise the life-cycle cost of concrete as they …
