Carbonation of cementitious materials is one of the most important reasons leading to the
deterioration of steel-reinforced concrete structures. After years of research, different models …

This paper develops a novel lattice diffusive model to quantitatively study the chloride
diffusion coefficient in unsaturated cementitious materials, in which the pore voxels are …

CO 2 treatment of cementitious materials has been suggested as a potential approach to
reduce carbon footprint and improve material properties. To gain a deep understanding of …

In circumstances with wastewater and seawater, the behavior of multi-ions including
calcium, chloride and others in concrete attracts attention. The present study investigated the …

In interface coupled dissolution-precipitation systems, the dynamics of the mineral-fluid
interface depends on two intertwining processes: the dissolution of the primary mineral that …

Portlandite, as a most soluble cement hydration reaction product, affects mechanical and
durability properties of cementitious materials. In the present work, an atomistic kinetic …

This study compares experimentally obtained hardened cement paste microstructures from
μ CT and virtual microstructures generated by two hydration models, namely CEMHYD3D …

This paper investigates alkali leaching from geopolymers under various concentrations of
acetic acid solutions. The effects of the raw metakaolin purity as well as fly ash-based …

Because of its solid structure, low permeability, slow diffusion and good chemical retention
for many radionuclides, cementitious materials are often used for conditioning radioactive …

A reactive transport model was employed to investigate the influence of multiple hydrate
phases during acetic acid attack on Portland cement paste. The simulation accounted for the …
