Calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) is a crucial component in cementitious materials which
greatly contributes to the strength and properties of cement-based concrete. However …

Composites are commonly used in engineering applications. One example is the polymer-
cement composites, where the polymers are used to modify/reinforce the cement mortar and …

Coupled effects of cyclic preloading and sulfuric acid attacks on the performance
deterioration of fly ash/ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) geopolymer mortar …

Abstract Ettringite,(Ca 6 [Al (OH) 6] 2 [SO 4] 3· nH 2 O, n= 24–27), is one of the common
phases of cement and plays an important role in cement chemistry as the primary cause of …

The marine environment exposes cemented soils to a variety of adverse environmental
conditions, which could substantially compromise the reliability and durability of foundations …

Hydrated cement is one of the complex composite systems due to the presence of multi-
scale phases with varying morphologies. Calcium silicate hydrate, which is the principal …

Hazardous wastes are commonly immobilized using cementitious materials. Ettringite (Ca 6
Al 2 (OH) 12 (SO 4) 3∙ 26H 2 O) is one of the main components of hydrated cement and is …

Atomistic simulations are employed to investigate the dynamics of shock-induced bubble
collapse in water. Two types of bubbles (an empty bubble and a bubble filled with N 2 gas) …

Thermal conductivity of cement paste is significantly influenced by the presence of macro-
pores within it. These pores (pores with size greater than 6 μm, measured using microCT) …

Nano-SiO2, a highly acclaimed nanomaterial for enhancing cemented soil, has shown
remarkable improvements in the physical properties and microstructure of cemented soil …
