Nanomaterials (NMs) are being used to enhance the properties of construction materials.
This review focuses on the use of NMs to improve the characteristics of fresh and hardened …

Graphene and graphene-based materials can play a major role in the building and
construction industries with their excellent performance. Graphene and its derivatives, as a …

The failure mechanisms of fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) are complicated and governed by
random phases at meso-scale, typically including fibres, mortar and fibre-mortar interfaces …

Concrete as a building material is susceptible to degradation by environmental threats such
as thermal diffusion, acid and sulphate infiltration, and chloride penetration. Hence, the …

With high compressive strength and high fracture toughness, steel fiber reinforced concrete
is widely used in large-span bridges and high-rise buildings. Since concrete structures are …

Graphene oxide (GO) opens a new pathway for reducing carbon footprint in the construction
industry and fabricating high-strength cementitious composites. However, due to the …

Reinforcing cementitious composites with nanomaterials is an effective way to reduce
porosity and enhance thermal conductivity (TC). In this study, the TCs of cementitious …

Nano carbon is reported as a novel material with enhanced properties such as larger
specific surface area, tensile property, and filling property. Nano carbons are modifies into …

The strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and cement composites is dependent on multiple
variables. In addition, CNTs added to a cement-based matrix can boost its strength …

Attapulgite has rarely been used in lanthanum-based alginate hydrogel development for
phosphate elimination. The associated research gaps regarding green fabrication, eco …
