The nano-to-micro mesoscale is crucial for cementitious materials; here reactions and
interactions between molecules produce complex mechanisms that determine the behavior …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) integrates cutting-edge nano-additives, fibers and
cementitious materials, which is a representative heterogeneous material and exhibits …

Highly crosslinked thermoset plastic waste is generally regarded as unrecycled materials
and dumped into landfills. To divert the waste from landfills, recycling thermoset waste as …

Abstract Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate (CSH) is the primary binding phase in cement and plays a
crucial role in lifecycle performance of concrete. Understanding its multiscale mechanical …

Using seawater for concrete production is potentially advantageous from a sustainability
perspective. However, the fundamental mechanisms underlying seawater-mixed concrete …

Interest in investigating seawater concrete has been increasing in recent years, but most
studies of the strength degradation of seawater mixed concrete have only been carried out …

Calcium silicate hydrate (C–S–H) gel is the glue of Portland cement that governs most of the
physicochemical properties of concrete. Inherently, understanding and controlling its …

Concrete is the most widely used and highest-volume basic material in the word today.
Enhancing its toughness, including tensile strength and deformation resistance, can boost …

The use of nanomaterials, particularly carbon-derived ones, has always been a high-tech
topic of research in the field of cement and concrete. Graphene and its derivatives are the …

Herein, the intrinsic nanomechanical transition of calcium-(alumino) silicate-hydrate (C-(A)-
