This paper examines the deteriorating behavior of C-(A)-SH samples with three Al/Si ratios
from atomic to mesopore scales under the decalcification action. The composition, chemical …

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 …

Secondary hydration is the main driving force of autogenous self-healing and directly
impacts the closure of cracks in damaged cementitious materials. In fiber-reinforced cement …

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 …

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 …

Nowadays concrete industry is trying to develop sustainable and energy efficient materials.
One of the techniques is to develop crack free concrete. Therefore, this study focusses on …

Durability is an important attribute that needs to be focused on during the life span of low-
carbon geopolymer mortar (LCGM). The influence of water content (0.00%, 4.91%, and …

Terminate hydration and drying procedures were necessary before characterizing the
cement-based materials. This study investigated the influence of drying method (-including …
