Accelerators for normal concrete play an important role in some engineering constructions.
This paper reviews different types of accelerators and discusses their effects on hydration …

In-situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool to assess the hydration of cementitious
materials, providing time-resolved quantitative analysis with reasonable accuracy without …

The fresh behavior of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC)-Metakaolin (MK) cementitious
material system is relatively undesirable and needs to be used in conjunction with other …

For the combination of ecological environment governance with cement industry upgrading,
this paper seeks innovation by proposing a low-carbon cementitious material, in which …

GGBS composition and the choice of the activation systems have a large impact on the
reactivity of GGBS-based binders. Here, the reactivity of 16 artificially-modified GGBSs was …

For mines located in saline areas, the use of mine water containing chloride salts to prepare
cemented tailings backfill (CTB) for mined-out area treatment can realize the resource …

The study aimed to achieve high strength in slag-based cementless ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC) while investigating the role of calcium formate and calcium chloride as …

Coal gasification slag (CGS) has pozzolanic activity, and it could be used as a
supplementary cementitious material after be activated by some solid waste, which will …

Soda residue (SR) is a kind of by-product by the ammonia-alkali process in the soda ash
production, which contains calcium components, such as calcium sulfate and calcium …

In 3D concrete printing, fast structuration is a prerequisite for ideal buildability. This paper
aims to study the impact of inorganic additives, ie, CaCl 2 and gypsum, on structural build-up …
