Long-term durability of concrete has been of interest for researchers in past decades, and
throughout their numerous research endeavors, they have tried to improve durability with the …

Nanosilica (NS) is a nanomaterial with excellent performance. The microstructure and
durability of cement-based materials are significantly affected by the addition of NS. Based …

This paper reports the results of an experimental study on durability of ordinary concrete and
high volume fly ash (HVFA) concrete containing nano silica (NS). In this study, concretes …

Concrete is a composite material that is highly used in construction fields. Steel slag (SS) is
a molten liquid melt of silicates and oxides, is a by-product of the steel-making process, and …

Concrete performance is affected by aggregates, the bulk cement paste and particularly the
interfacial transition zone (ITZ). In this regard, the ITZ is generally weaker than either of two …

In this study two different types of nano-silica (nS) were applied in self-compacting concrete
(SCC), both having similar particle size distributions (PSD), but produced through two …

During acid rain concrete begins to lose its mechanical strength that lead to cracking, weight
losing and finally, destruction of structures. Since the control of acid rain and its effects on …

Concrete is a very flexible composite material that is extensively employed in the building
industry. Steel slag is a waste material produced during steelmaking. It is formed during the …

The green concrete capable for sustainable development is characterized by application of
industrial wastes to reduce pollution of the environment. Fly ash processed with …

The development of high-performance materials has been prompted by a constantly
expanding infrastructure with complex technical constraints. Performance modification of …
