Concrete has a tremendous influence on the environment since the majority of its
composition is cement, which is a material that emits high levels of carbon dioxide. It is …

Corrosion is one of the most critical problems that impair the durability of RC structures. Both
carbonation-induced and chloride-induced corrosion widely prevail in civil infrastructure …

The process of manufacturing the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is linked with potentially
adverse consequences on the environment, as it consumes considerable quantities of …

This paper investigates the feasibility of using artificial neural networks (ANNs) modeling to
predict the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) containing fly ash as cement …

The objective of this work is to analyze the mechanical strength of mortars with the partial
replacement of Portland cement by ashes from the sugar cane bagasse, obtained in a sugar …

Cement manufacturing and concrete constructions are associated with high carbon dioxide
(CO 2) emission. This can be potentially reduced by sequestering CO 2 through calcium …

Promising areas of concrete material science are maximum greening, reducing the carbon
footprint, and, at the same time, solving the problems of increasing the cost of raw materials …

Capillary absorption capacity has an important influence on the durability of concrete and is
closely related to pore structure. In this study, the pore structure and capillary water …

Folded plates have been widely used in some structures, such as industrial buildings,
hangar, storage, swimming pools etc., due to their natural stiffness and higher load bearing …

Use of fly ash (FA) in concrete subjected to freeze-thaw (FT) cycles in a cold region has
been limited because of its slow hydration and low scaling resistance. One of the solutions …
