Foamed concrete possesses characteristics such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low
density. Using foamed concrete reduces dead loads on the structure and foundation …

Hybrid materials based on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) exhibit great potential in
diverse fields such as health care, polymer composites, environment, catalysis, and energy …

This paper aims to investigate the influences of high Portland cement substitutions (> 60
wt%) by low-grade calcined clay (CC) and limestone (LF) on 3D concrete printability …

Adsorption of polycarboxylateether-based water-reducing admixtures (PCE) on the cement
surface affects many properties of cementitious systems, especially fluidity. One of the most …

Although intensive research related to ultra high-performance concrete (UHPC) and its
composition has been carried out over the past two decades, attaining compressive …

The traditional polycarboxylate (PC) superplasticizers are usually negatively charged
polymers, in which the carboxylate functionalities are responsible for their adsorption on …

In recent few years, significant improvement has been made in developing largescale 3D
printers to accommodate the need of industrial-scale 3D printing. It is of great feasibility to …

Foam concrete (FC) has the potential of being an alternative to ordinary concrete, as it
reduces dead loads on the structure and foundation, contributes to energy conservation, and …

Abstract Effects of polycarboxylate (PCE) superplasticizers with different densities of
carboxylate groups, functional group contents, molecular weight, and side chain …

Progress in microstructural characterization methods is summarized. Special attention is
given to advanced probes, such as X-ray imaging and spectroscopy, 1 H NMR relaxometry …
