The construction sector has been addressing the issue of integrating sustainability into
production processes over the last few years, either through solid waste materials as …

Engineered cementitious composite (ECC) featuring extraordinary tensile ductility is a
promising option for many structural applications but its large-scale manufacture is not eco …

This study designed and developed strain-hardening alkali-activated fly ash/slag
composites (SH-AAFSC) with both ultra-high compressive strength and ultra-high tensile …

A state-of-the-art review on the development of high-performance strain-hardening
cementitious composites (SHCC) with over 55 MPa compressive strength, 4% tensile strain …

This study introduces ultra-ductile fly ash-based engineered geopolymer composites (UD-
EGCs). Four mixtures of UD-EGCs with different ratios of sodium metasilicate pentahydrate …

Strain-hardening alkali-activated materials (SHAAM) provide a sustainable alternative to
conventional strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC), offering significant …

Interest in geopolymer concrete (GeoPC) and in rubberised concrete (RuC) has grown over
the past two decades. The former offers an attractive alternative to ordinary Portland cement …

Engineered geopolymer composites (EGCs) are known for their superior tensile
performance and multiple cracking characteristics. The development of lightweight EGCs is …

This study investigates incorporating waste crumb rubber as a cost-effective aggregate in
concrete to improve properties and address environmental concerns. Using the Taguchi …

Producing high-strength self-compacting concrete (SCC) requires a low water-cement ratio
(W/C). Hence, using a superplasticizer is necessary to attain the desired self-compacting …
