Cement and concrete are hard-to-abate industrial sectors for decarbonization due to
growing demand driven by rapid urbanization, population growth, and the considerable …

Cracks in cement concrete composites, whether autogenous or loading-initiated, are almost
inevitable and often difficult to detect and repair, posing a threat to safety and durability of …

Pozzolanic materials or industrial wastes can be used to partially replace cement,
minimizing the carbon footprint of concrete structures. Zeolite, silica fume, fly ash, and …

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) demonstrates relatively high autogenous
shrinkage at early age due to the use of high binder content and low water-to-binder ratio of …

The rapid development in 3D printing applications requires exploring a sustainable printable
mixture to decrease the environmental impact induced by the existing Ordinary Portland …

Lignocellulosic biomass can be converted into more valuable products by high-temperature
treatment causing the formation of bio-oil. However, the complex structure of lignocellulosic …

To decrease the environmental and climatic effects of rising concrete consumption, more
environmentally friendly concretes are required. One approach to achieve this goal is using …

Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is often designed with a low water-to-binder ratio,
which can potentially limit the hydration of cement particles. To address the hydration …

Concrete strength is dependent upon not only the water to cement ratio but also different
constituents of the concrete. The inclusion of natural zeolite (NZ) as an effective …

Heavy metals are one of the major chemical pollutant groups in urban runoff. The
application of porous concrete is a potential alternative to conventional runoff management …
