Cement-based materials are widely utilized in infrastructure. The main product of hydrated
products of cement-based materials is calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels that are …

Alkali activated binders are sustainable alternatives to carbon-intensive conventional
Portland cements. Although earlier studies focussed on the mechanical properties of alkali …

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) are increasingly used in concrete for
economical and environmental reasons. However, the durability of reinforced concretes …

The study explored the chemical, micromechanical, and morphological evolution of the
principal binding phases of Portland cement under carbonation. Accelerated carbonation …

Desalinated sea sand concrete (DSSC) is increasingly used to mitigate the shortage of
natural river sand. However, one major concern lies in the corrosion risks of steel …

The fire-resistance of carbonated concrete under high temperatures is significant due to its
direct exposure during an accidental fire. To evaluate the carbonation effect on fire …

The natural passivation ability and chloride-induced corrosion behavior of 304 stainless
steel in alkaline concrete pore solutions containing red mud and fly ash were evaluated by …

The paper studied the effect of pre-carbonation on the C–S–H structure and investigated the
positive effect of pre-carbonation on enhancing the stability of cement paste at high …

This study aims to explore the effects of different Ca (OH) 2 contents on the mechanical
performance and corrosion behaviors of steel in Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement …

Carbonation induced corrosion is one of the major durability issues for reinforced concrete
structures. To address this issue, it is essential to understand the underlying mechanism of …
