The unparalleled attributes of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) reported over the
last three decades sum up the development of this material in two phases: UHPC and ultra …

In light of concerns relating to improper waste disposal and resources preservation,
reclamation of the discarded glass in construction materials had been extensively carried …

Pastes of white Portland cement (wPC) and wPC-30% pulverized fuel ash (PFA),-60%
ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS),-30% or 60% inert filler (anatase-type TiO 2) …

The development of new, sustainable, low-CO2 construction materials is essential if the
global construction industry is to reduce the environmental footprint of its activities, which is …

Cement-based materials are widely utilized in infrastructure. The main product of hydrated
products of cement-based materials is calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels that are …

This paper is a keynote presentation from the 13th International Congress on the Chemistry
of Cement. It discusses the underlying principles of hydration and recent evidence for the …

This article is concerned with the calcium silicate hydrates, including crystalline minerals
and the extremely variable and poorly ordered phase (CSH) that is the main binding phase …

The morphology of outer-product (Op) C–S–H in 20-year-old slag–cement pastes appeared
in most blends to be finer than at younger ages. The Ca/Si and Ca/(Si+ Al) ratios of the Op C …

Synthetic CSH–PCE nanocomposites are known to act as seeding material in Portland
cement. Here, CSH–PCE was precipitated from Na 2 SiO 3 and Ca (NO 3) 2 solutions in an …

It is well known from experiments that the uniaxial compressive strength of cementitious
materials depends linearly on the degree of hydration, once a critical hydration degree has …
