Composites are commonly used in engineering applications. One example is the polymer-
cement composites, where the polymers are used to modify/reinforce the cement mortar and …

The use of recycled aggregates (RCAs) could further enhance the sustainability of reactive
magnesia cement (RMC) formulations, but the performances of RMC-RCA are still unknown …

This paper aims to investigate the effects of graphene oxide (GO) on the microstructure and
micromechanical properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) matrix and …

To improve sustainability and reduce costs, interest in using limestone powder (LP) in ultra-
high performance concrete (UHPC) has been increasing in recent years. Incorporating LP …

The strength origin of CSH matrix is a key question in cement and concrete research, which
remains largely unclear despite a century of study. Here we present a novel approach to …

Predicting the mechanical performance of concrete from composition and processing
remains a grand challenge. Our work focuses on predicting damage evolution in ultrahigh …

This study investigated the mechanical, microstructural, and chemical changes in reactive
MgO cement-based concrete cured under ambient and accelerated carbonation conditions …

In Portland cement-based concrete, calcium (alumino) silicate hydrate (C-(A-) SH) is the
principal binding phase that governs its physical, mechanical, and durability properties. In …

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer manufacturing is emerging, with multiple studies to focus on
the design of interfacial reinforcement to ensure the maximum of composite properties, but …
