The enhancement of toughness of quasi-brittle cement-based materials holds significant
importance in modern concrete science. Flexural toughness serves as a key indicator for …

The acoustic emission (AE) technique is suitable for monitoring and evaluating hydraulic
concrete damage due to its good response to material damage. While continuously …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a kind of fiber-reinforced cement-based
materials with outstanding mechanical properties and much enhanced toughness. In this …

Highly crosslinked thermoset plastic waste is generally regarded as unrecycled materials
and dumped into landfills. To divert the waste from landfills, recycling thermoset waste as …

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 …

With the construction and development of intelligent roads, an increasing number of sensors
are being embedded into the road structures. Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement is …

The study introduces a novel approach to enhance the properties of Ultra-High Performance
Concrete (UHPC) through multi-scale synergistic reinforcement using microfibers (0.66 mm) …

Engineering muck represents a typical, large output construction waste. However, the
comprehensive utilisation rate of engineering muck is typically low. Large quantities of …

With the increasing requirements for emergency repair projects, there is a pressing need for
high-quality repair materials. In this work, a series of rapid hardening ultra-high performance …
