Nowadays, the preservation of natural resources, the reuse, and the recycling of waste and
by-products in the cement industry are gaining increasing attention in a sustainable …

In this work carbonated cement paste from demolished concrete recycling has been
investigated as an active SCM-like component of composite cement. Carbonation of …

Chemical changes and phase analysis of OPC pastes exposed to accelerated carbonation
using different concentrations of CO 2 (3%, 10% and 100%) have been undertaken and …

This paper forms the first part of a series. In this first part, a broad range of normal and high-
performance (HP) hardened cement pastes and concretes is studied under both laboratory …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) like fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BFS)
are normally used to replace parts of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) to reduce the cost and …

Most people are dwelling in cities, which contain a high density of buildings constructed of
concrete or similar materials. Conventional grey-colored concrete is absorptive to solar …

This paper describes the underlying principles behind the evolution in performance of
ternary composite cements comprising Portland cement clinker, slag and limestone. By …

The phenomenon of concrete carbonation is a well-researched field. With the ever-rising
concern about pollution in the environment, the need for understanding this phenomenon …

This paper presents a model for the carbonation of cementitious matrixes (UR-CORE). The
model is based on the principles of the “unreacted-core” systems, typical of chemical …

A stronger commitment towards Green Building and circular economy, in response to
environmental concerns and economic trends, is evident in modern industrial cement and …
