The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

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 …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs), in the form of bars and strips, can be used as prestressing
elements in new reinforced concrete (RC) members or for strengthening existing RC …

Shape memory materials (SMMs) are an important group of intelligent multifunctional
materials used in civil engineering applications whose popularity is due to their unique …

Shape memory alloy (SMA) fibers are used in engineered cementitious composite (ECC) to
achieve good self-healing properties in the newly developed smart cementitious material …

This paper presents the initial results of a two-phase research project for developing re-
centring self-sensing cementitious composites. The focus here is on fresh, mechanical, and …

In this study, several aspects of autogenous and autonomous healing concrete are
discussed, including their characterization, processes, and performances. Mineral …

Traditional cement-based materials are brittle materials with poor toughness and easy
cracking characteristics. The formation of cracks due to drying shrinkage and external load …

This paper studies the use of nickel-titanium (NiTi) superelastic shape memory alloy (NiTi-
SMA), steel, and polypropylene (PP) fibres as reinforcement in geopolymer concrete (GPC) …

The application of shape memory alloy (SMA) in seismic-resistant devices has received
extensive attention due to its unique superelastic and shape memory effect. The poor energy …
