Enhancing cracking resistance of face slab concrete is essential for the structural integrity
and normal operation of concrete-faced rockfill dams (CFRDs). In this study, the effects of …

Abrasion resistance and cracking resistance are two important properties determining the
normal operation and reliability of hydropower projects that are subjected to erosion and …

The Portland cement (PC) production industry is a key contributor of CO2 emission. The
demand of cement is mounting day by day due to the rapid infrastructure development in the …

Currently, low heat Portland (LHP) cement is widely used in mass concrete structures. The
magnesia expansion agent (MgO) can be adopted to reduce the shrinkage of conventional …

Due to the growing population and unsustainable development, global energy consumption
is rising, contributing to more environmental issues such as global warming. On the other …

Soundless cracking demolition agents (SCDAs) are calcium oxide (CaO) based expansive
cement, which have the potential of increasing the permeability of host rocks for …

Nano MgO and light-burnt MgO were added into pastes mixed with Portland cement and
slag to compensate for the shrinkage of mass concrete. The results indicated that an …

Milled municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash was used as a precursor in the
production of alkali-activated mortars with recycled concrete aggregates as a sand …

The key point of this study is the fabrication of magnesia-based cement with promising
mechanical properties and high efficiency of CO 2-capture. The naturally occurring volcanic …

The effects of rice straw ash (RSA) and microsilica (MS) on durability properties (water
absorption and chloride ion penetration) of M40 grade Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) …
