Nanomaterials (NMs) are being used to enhance the properties of construction materials.
This review focuses on the use of NMs to improve the characteristics of fresh and hardened …

The waste from the flat glass polishing process for civil construction is generally discarded in
landfills. Despite some researchers evaluating its application in the development of …

Porosity is an important parameter for characterizing the microstructure of solids that
corresponds to the volume of the void space, which may contain fluid or air, over the total …

Moisture dynamics in brick, stone and concrete has a controlling influence on the durability
and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

As a widespread application in underground metal mines, cementitious tailings backfill
(CTB) has a significant implication for recycling dangerous process tailings and enhancing …

Permeability is a fundamental physical property of a cement-based material and is closely
related to its pore structure. This study developed an improved model for permeability …

This paper investigates chloride ion convection–diffusion transport in the finite RC structure
under reverse water pressures. The chloride ion penetration in concrete is examined …

This article reports an investigation of the behaviour of a low-calcium fly ash-only
geopolymer (FAGP) mortar in comparison to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) mortar and a …

The capillary mechanisms in mortars were investigated in this study by using different
cement-lime mortar compositions commonly used in coatings and repair mortars. Two types …

The high level of gas permeability can effectively reduce the explosive spalling risk of
refractory castables. The hydratable magnesium carboxylate (HMC) is expected to improve …
