Concrete building structures in cold regions are frequently exposed to low-temperature
environments and inevitably subjected to impact loads during service. This study aimed to …

Carbonation of cement-based building materials is not only a frequent trigger for corrosion of
the reinforcement, but also causes various significant property changes in the carbonated …

This paper presents comprehensive research of the advantages and applicability of various
concrete carbonation detection methods. Employing a combination of Phenolphthalein …

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) improve the durability of concrete, whereas theirs
characterization and adaptability in cement-based matrix has not been systematically …

Steel corrosion is one of the main factors limiting the durability of existing reinforced
concrete components. Based on the corrosive circumstances, different prevention and repair …

Given that CO 2 chamber and high inner pressure are needed in the traditional carbonation
curing, we propose an in-situ internal carbonation by mesoporous silica nanoparticles …

The microstructure evolution of cement paste along the carbonation depth under different
RH conditions (23-80%) was characterized using SEM image analysis, complementing the …

Moisture distribution in cement-based materials is important from the durability point of view.
In the present study, a portable three-magnet array with an elliptical surface radio frequency …

Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation of the proton spins of liquid molecules and their
evolution during processes such as drying, fluid flow, and phase change of a sample can be …

This study explores the acceleration of material design in the concrete industry, focusing on
improving carbonation resistance, a key factor in the durability of concrete structures …
