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 …

Geopolymer concretes (geocretes) are considered as eco-friendly materials for various
building applications. Geocrete has high early strength, less consumption of natural …

This paper covers a wide range of alternative strategies to improve the sustainability of
concrete. It firstly considers the relatively easy application of the latest technologies to …

Superhydrophobic materials are investigated extensively because of their excellent surface
properties, such as self-cleaning, oil-water separation, corrosion resistance, anti-icing, and …

Water penetration can cause severe performance deterioration and even failure of concrete
constructions through various degradation mechanisms, such as chemical erosion, dry-wet …

This study investigates the impact of Mg (OH) 2 on the in-situ formation of fibre-like aragonite
and the mechanical properties of the cement mortar by accelerated carbonation. The results …

Drying shrinkage deformation due to moisture migration is a major concern in cementitious
materials and can lead to a high probability of cracking, resulting in a deterioration in long …

With global increase in construction and demolition, recycling of construction debris as an
aggregate can be a vital step towards achieving sustainability in concrete construction …

In corrosion environment, corrosion ions can easily penetrate from the surface into the inside
of the concrete due to the porous structure of the surface; in this case, concrete can …

Superhydrophobic surfaces show great application prospects in various fields, yet the
tedious preparation process, sophisticated equipment, and poor durability restrict their large …
