The review summarises literature to examine the transition from portland limestone cement
system to composite ternary binder systems involving limestone. Interest in limestone …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are key components of sustainable, low
carbon cements. To maximize their use in blended cements, the impact of SCMs on cement …

The commercial alkali activators could account for more than 50% of the cost for producing
geopolymers. Thus, to lower the carbon footprint of geopolymer by avoiding the utilization of …

Low-calcium (FA) and high-calcium (HCFA) fly ash and granulated blast furnace slag
(GBFS) are the most widely known, standardized and used SCMs in the composition of …

This research aims to study the effect of adding nanosilica (NS) on the properties of
sustainable high-strength concrete (SHSC). The SHSC was produced using recycled …

Aiming to promote applications of carbonated recycled concrete fines (CRCF) as a low-
carbon alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), this study explored the effect of CRCF …

Limestone powder (LS) has been widely used in cement-based materials; and reportedly,
can influence their properties by filler, nucleation, dilution and chemical effects. The action …

The purpose of this book is to provide practical guidance to the effective microstructural
characterisation of cement-based materials. Understanding the microstructure of a material …

Granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) is widely used in cement and concrete industries due
to its excellent hydration properties. However, there is a huge capacity gap between the …

In this study, rice husk ash (RHA)-based reactive filler was used in ultra-high performance
concrete (UHPC) to improve mechanical properties without heat-treatment. This strategy …
