Many alkali-activated materials (AAMs) exhibit poor workability in mixing owing to great
viscosity of the paste and fast setting. Chemical admixtures commonly used in Portland …

Various applications of biopolymer-based soil treatment (BPST) in geotechnical engineering
have been implemented in recent years, including dust control, soil strengthening and …

Science and Technology of Concrete Admixtures presents admixtures from both a
theoretical and practical point-of-view. The authors emphasize key concepts that can be …

Viscosity modifying agents (VMAs) are essential ingredients for the production of flowable
cement-based materials. This paper presents an overview of commonly used VMAs and …

The study aims to improve flexural properties of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC)

Viscosity-enhancing admixtures, also known as anti-washout admixtures, are water-soluble
polymers that increase the viscosity and cohesion of cement-based materials. Such …

For ground improvement via grouting, the rheological abilities of nano-silica (NS) added to
Portland cement (PC) based-grouts have been investigated at a wide range of NS …

A friendly novel material called geopolymer has recently presented some promising uses for
enhancement of weak ground through grouting alternative to Portland cement especially for …

Polyacrylamide (PAM) is one of the commonly used anti-washout admixtures (AWAs) in
cement-based materials. However, PAM chains tend to be contracted under attacks from …
