Water has a significant impact on the properties of building materials. A nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) spectrometer can be used to detect water in materials and measure its …

This study aimed to investigate the internal curing mechanism of cement composites
containing cellulose microfibers (CMFs) derived from kenaf stalk bast. The primary test …

In this paper, basic creep mechanism of ambient cured one-part alkali activated slag-fly ash
(AASF) paste is examined at the microscopic level. A special mini creep rig is constructed …

This study aims to evaluate the influence of natural fiber leachates on cement pastes for
advanced bio-composite production. Cement samples are made by mixing cement with …

This study evaluates the potential use of discarded plasterboard paper as fibers from
buildings to reinforce concrete. Various concentrations of wastepaper fibers (0.5%, 1 …

Rheological properties play a crucial role in characterizing 3D printed cement-based
materials. To further investigate the mechanism behind rheological evolution, this study …

This study presented a significant advancement in the use of Milkweed (MW) fibres as
internal curing agents in low water-to-cement (w/c) cementitious materials. The research …

Using steel slag in architectural three-dimensional (3D) printing not only enhances its
utilization efficiency but also significantly reduces cement consumption, thereby mitigating …

Natural fibers such as coir fibers have been increasingly explored as reinforcement in the
cementitious composite to promote sustainable and economical construction. However, the …

Graphene oxide (GO) and ultrafine slag (UFS) have been applied to reinforce cement mortar
cubes (CMC) in this research. The consequences of GO and UFS on the mechanical …
