Cryogenic temperature has been widely recognized as one of the extreme environments for
the application of concrete. Exposures to the cryogenic temperature may remarkably …

Heap leaching uranium tailings (HLUTs) contain radionuclides and sulfuric acid, presenting
some challenges for the disposal of cemented HLUTs backfill (CUTB), including low stability …

Abstract Ultra-high Performance Concrete (UHPC) exposed to cryogenic temperatures
typically fails in a brittle fashion, with a failure mode that is undesirable and catastrophic. In …

Herein, we report a cryogenic attack study on CASH with bulk Ca/(Al+ Si)= 0.84–1.75,
Al/(Al+ Si)= 0.1, 0.2. The CASH nanostructure variations are quantitively analyzed using …

The stability of CSH nanostructures with varying bulk CaO/SiO 2 (C/S) ratios under
cryogenic attack (− 170° C) was experimentally studied by means of XRD, TG, SEM-EDS, 29 …

As a kind of low-carbon cementitious materials, alkali-activated slag (AAS) can make
contributions to the construction in cold areas because of its low freezing point of alkaline …

This paper investigates the scaling of the nanoscopic elastic and tensile failure properties of
calcium-silicate-hydrate (CSH). We report a Zhurkov-like scaling behavior for disordered …

Low-carbon calcium (alumino) silicate hydrate (C-(A)-SH) based composites (eg, blended
cement-based materials and alkali-activated materials) have broad application potential in …

Despite significant advancements in microstructural characterization methods, the
interconnections between nanostructure and morphological diversity of calcium-silicate …

Cement kiln dust (CKD) is a solid waste produced by the thermal decomposition of materials
during the production of cement clinker. Theoretically, CKD can potentially be utilized to …
