Cement-based materials, including cement and concrete, are the most widely used
construction materials in the world. In recent years, the investigation and application of …

X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique that offers a 3D insight into
the microstructure of thick (opaque) samples with virtually no preliminary sample …

With the rapid development of transportation and population growth, there is a surge hike in
demand for automobile tires. Waste rubber disposal has become a big environmental …

Abstract Recycled concrete fines (RCFs, 0.3 mm≪ 2.36 mm) are the fine fractions of waste
concrete generated during the recycling process. RCFs contain less natural aggregate and …

The permeability of cement pastes depends on their pore structures. In this paper, various
indirect and direct methods were used to comprehensively reveal the microstructures; then …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) has been rapidly accepted in accelerating bridge
construction attributed to its superior workability and mechanical performance. However, the …

Cracks in concrete surfaces occur because of steel bar corrosion in reinforced concrete
marine structures and other infrastructures, such as pavement slabs. Recently, the use of …

As a promising alternative to alkali-activated fly ash (AAF) for high temperature application,
the degradation mechanism of alkali-activated fly ash/GGBS (AAFS) under high temperature …

Microscopic pore structure and compressive strength of fly ash-cement composite
cementitious materials at 20° C and 60° C measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry and …

The carbon fibers (CFs) recovered from end-of-life CFRP scraps via pyrolysis have recently
aroused ascending interest due to their highly retained fiber strength and lowered carbon …
