High-density, high-permanence forms of carbon storage are in demand to save storage
space on land or at sea while allowing the world to reach its climate targets. Biochar and …

Super absorbency is the extraordinary capacity of a substance to absorb and retain a large
amount of liquid. Hydrophobic polymer chains are cross-linked to form superabsorbent …

The drying shrinkage caused by rapid water loss will pose a great threat to the safety of
concrete structures, especially for those serviced in an extremely dry environment. However …

Preparing high-performance concrete with full aeolian sand (FA-HPC) can address the
shortage of high-quality aggregates. Its low water-binder ratio (w/b) and high content of …

The shrinkage and creep behavior of track beam concrete have the significant influence on
the stability and safety of train operation. While superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and …

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative type of concrete that does not require
vibration for compaction; however, it needs attention in relation to the control of thermally …

This study centers on evaluating the mechanical properties, autogenous and drying
shrinkage kinetics, and crack propagation behavior in concrete samples internally cured …

Superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) efficiently reduce total shrinkage and cracking
susceptibility of fibre reinforced mortars (FRM). This paper discusses the effects of SAPs on …

Graphene has local superconductivity, very high electron mobility, good mechanical
properties and high stability, and is therefore an excellent filler material for self-sensing …

Shrinkage effect can result in damages in steel-UHPC composite decks. And these
damages may even cause mechanical performance degradations. The details are critical to …
