During the past decade, researchers investigated the incorporation of carbon nanotubes
(CNTs) as a reinforcement for cementitious materials to achieve multifunctional properties …

Concrete as a building material is susceptible to degradation by environmental threats such
as thermal diffusion, acid and sulphate infiltration, and chloride penetration. Hence, the …

The macroscopic properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) modified reactive powder concrete
(RPC) composites are closely related to their pore structure characteristics, but the structural …

As the weakest zone in concrete, the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between aggregates
and cement mortars has important effects on the properties of concrete. This paper aims to …

The development of ultra-high performance cementitious composite (UHPCC) represents a
significant advancement in the field of concrete science and technology, but insufficient …

When exposed to fire, the integrity of cement-based materials is governed by thermally-
induced changes in the mechanical properties of their binding phase, ie, the calcium …

The bond between FRP bars and concrete, the foremost performance for implementation of
such reinforcements to corrosion-free concrete structures, is still unsatisfied due to the weak …

Abstract Nano-SiO 2 (NS) has attracted considerable cementitious interest due to the new
potential uses of nanoparticles. However, the dispersion problem of NS in alkaline cement …

Nano materials have become an important means of modifying cement-based materials.
The excessive content of nano materials often causes some problems. Therefore, optimizing …

The intermediate describes the stage prior to final product, which is the key step for structural
design and functional groups tailoring at nanoscale. Inspired by this concept, a sol-gel …
