In this paper, the effectiveness of different chemical stabilizers in improving the engineering
properties of expansive soils is investigated. Three different soils with variable sulfate …

Clinker hydration at later age in blended cement pastes was found to be retarded by the
pozzolanic reaction of low-calcium supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs). Various …

Thermal conductivity, k, is an important property of concrete, and it influences the design and
energy-efficiency of many concrete-based structures. Due to the requirement of …

High-temperature conditions formed by cement hydration in mass concrete structures will
cause a significant risk of temperature-induced stresses and cracking, making it critical to …

The effect of casting and curing temperature on concrete-epoxy-concrete interfacial bond
strength was evaluated. To cover a wide range of climatic conditions, six different …

The relative effects of nanoparticles (NPs) of dry powdered nSiO 2, nAl 2 O 3, and nCaCO 3
and colloidal nSiO 2 (in size range of 10–40 nm) on the hydration kinetics and apparent …

The temperature rise in mass concrete usually leads to premature distresses and early-age
cracking. This paper correlates the time-temperature profiles to the mechanical properties …

This study presents a sustainable thermal control method (energy pile technology) for bridge
piers in high-altitude regions, addressing the challenges posed by temperature variations in …

Mass foundation slabs represent unique structures because of the considerable thermal
effects generated by the exothermic reactions of cement hydration that occur during concrete …

The present study has been focused on the synthesis of silica encapsulated paraffin phase
change materials and its application in cement-based systems. One-pot in-situ hydrolysis of …
