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 …

Robots are increasingly assisting humans in performing various tasks. Like special agents
with elite skills, they can venture to distant locations and adverse environments, such as the …

Ancient Roman concretes have survived millennia, but mechanistic insights into their
durability remain an enigma. Here, we use a multiscale correlative elemental and chemical …

The sprawl of marine construction is one of the most extreme human modifications to global
seascapes. Nevertheless, its global extent remains largely unquantified compared to that on …

The relation between the chemical composition of calcium–silicate–hydrate (C–S–H)
phases and its influence on the compressive strength of cementitious materials is …

The fresh and rheological properties of alkali mortars activated by blast furnace slag (BFS)
were investigated. Consistency tests, squeeze flow, dropping ball, mass density in the …

The effect of equilibration time on the composition, structure and solubility of calcium
aluminate silicate hydrate (CASH) was investigated in 0.5 M NaOH solutions at Al/Si= 0.1 …

This review undertakes rigorous analysis of much of the copious literature available to the
scientific community on the use of alkali-activated binders (AABs) in construction. The …

Thermodynamic modelling is essential to understand the effect of binder composition on
hydrate assemblage in modern Portland composite cements and its effect on durability …

It is well known that cement production is not neutral for natural environment among others
due to high CO 2 emission. Different strategies of mitigation of negative environmental …
