Concrete has a tremendous influence on the environment since the majority of its
composition is cement, which is a material that emits high levels of carbon dioxide. It is …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is more durable than conventional concrete (CC)
and high-performance concrete (HPC) owing to the use of low water-to-binder ratio (W/B) of …

A single ton of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) demands around 4.0 G Joule energy and
creates about a ton of CO 2 emission. As part of our effort to preserve the environment, the …

Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) is a byproduct from the blast-furnaces of iron
and it is a very beneficial in the mortar and concrete production. The present paper reviews …

Lightweight cementitious composite has been used in construction for thousand years.
However, before the Second World War, lightweight concrete was mainly limited to non …

The rapid development and increasing demand for construction materials have resulted in
the underperformance of traditional construction materials. The production of traditional …

Anti-water-penetration techniques are important to raise the durability of cement-based
materials (CBMs). Here the water penetration resistances of cement mortars with ethylene …

At present, the cement industry generates approximately 5% of the world's anthropogenic
CO2 emissions. This share is expected to increase since demand for cement based …

Due to the increase in the demolition of high strength concrete structures and the interest of
precast concrete companies in being more competitive, it is necessary to analyse the use of …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) achieves extraordinary strength characteristics
through optimization of the particle packing density of the cementitious matrix. The dense …
