The ingress of water and aggressive substances is the primary reason for the chemical and
physical degradation of concrete infrastructure, leading to a reduction in durability and a …

Compared with inland areas, the environment for concrete in severely cold regions is more
harsh and includes ion erosion, changes in dry and wet conditions, low-temperature freeze …

It has become an intelligent and environmental protection method to repair concrete cracks
based on microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP). However, due to the …

The granite waste (GW) generated during mining extraction is responsible for environmental
degradation. Millions of tonnes of stored GW are currently still not being reused. This paper …

While microbial spore production and germination of bacteria have been widely studied for
their applications in animal husbandry, aquatic products, medicine, and food, few studies …

Approximately 544 million tonnes of fly ash (FA) are generated annually worldwide, 80% of
which is disposed of in landfills. Thus, using FA as a replacement for cement has turned out …

This study explores the application of a silica-based superhydrophobic coating to enhance
the durability and safety of cement surfaces in road construction. The coating formulation …

The research carried out in this study presents the effectiveness of using sodium acetate as
a protective material for concrete pavement. A newly developed freeze-thaw method that …

This study investigates the interfacial bonding of natural fibre reinforced (NFR) cementitious
composites by exploring the incorporation of 20–30 mm strands of uncoated and resin …

The impermeability of concrete is closely related to its durability in humid and marine
environments. In this study, polyacrylic acid (PA) emulsion and white Portland cement were …
