Porous media containing voids which can be filled with gas and/or liquids are ubiquitous in
our everyday life: soils, wood, bricks, concrete, sponges, and textiles. It is of major interest to …

This study aims to clarify the absorption-desorption process of internal curing water by
pumice in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) system based on relaxation theory. More …

We review the uses of nuclear magnetic resonance techniques for experiments with fluids.
More precisely we focus on the progress of knowledge in complex flows, rheology of …

The dynamic pore structure of partially saturated cement-based material is rather essential
to quantify its mass transport and many other properties. To clarify the influence of water …

Abstract SuperAbsorbent Polymers (SAPs) can be applied as an admixture in cementitious
materials. As the polymers are able to swell, they will absorb part of the mixing water and …

The specific surface areas of sealed-cured hardened cement pastes (HCP) were evaluated
during the hydration process using three types of Portland cement and with two different …

The energy consumption of the wet carbonation method is increased by water bath heating,
which is not conducive to the sustainable development of wet carbonation for Recycled …

NMR was applied to investigate the microstructure development of cement paste during
bleeding. In this study, we have measured the void ratio and the T 1 relaxation, reflecting the …

Understanding the tensile strength and failure mechanism of rock–cement interfacial
transition zone (ITZ) is of vital significance to the sealing integrity of cement sheath under …

In order to characterize the hydration and moisture transport process of white cement
containing nano-SiO 2 (NS) and nano-Al 2 O 3 (NA), the transverse relaxation time (T 2) …
