Landfilling of food waste due to its low recycling rate is raising serious concerns because of
associated soil and water contamination, and emission of methane and other greenhouse …

Pervious concrete is regarded as a contributing material to reduce surface runoff, purify
water pollution, and mitigate the urban heat island. However, the poor water absorption and …

The degree of hydration in ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is known to be low due
to low water-cement ratio, leading to a substantial portion of cement merely being an …

Biochar has been increasingly used in the production of cementitious materials due to its
low cost, low-carbon emission, and environmental benefits. This study provides a …
