Although grouting is a widespread process mainly used for soil treatment and for filling
cracks/voids in concrete structures, grout injection is still a challenging step. Due to the …

This work presents an overview of the most relevant studies developed to understand the
enhancement promoted by the double effect of the crystalline admixtures (CAs), both as …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), including industrial by-products or natural
pozzolans are widely used as a partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in …

This article presents the effect of LaSrCoO3, oxides commonly known as LSCO
nanomaterials, on rheological, mechanical and microstructural properties of self‐compacting …

Silicone hydrophobic powder (SHP) and crystalline waterproofing admixture (CWA) were
used to improve the impermeability of carbon black (CB)/cement-based sensors. The …

Abstract “Waste materials” possess “new utilization” for that the application of copper slag
(CS) instead of natural sand can impart excellent engineering properties and exceptional …

The present paper studies the crack healing effect of high-performance cement-based
materials mixed with crystalline admixture (CA) in seawater environments. Specifically, the …

Crystallization-based waterproofing is a multi-functional technology which combines
hygroscopic and hydrophilic crystallization pore blocking with hydrophobic pore lining. This …

To gain a better understanding of microstructure evolution in cement-based materials, it
becomes imperative to characterize their phase proportions and spatial distributions …

Crystalline admixtures (CAs) are new materials for promoting self-healing in concrete
materials to repair concrete cracks. They have been applied to tunnel, reservoir dam, road …
