X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique that offers a 3D insight into
the microstructure of thick (opaque) samples with virtually no preliminary sample …

Concrete can be considered as a heterogeneous material at mesoscale comprising of
several constituents such as aggregates, mortar and Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) …

This paper presents a meso-scale modelling framework to investigate the fracture process in
concrete subjected to uniaxial and biaxial compression accounting for its mesostructural …

Cement-based materials are generally highly heterogeneous, and their material properties
are strongly affected by the characteristics and spatial distributions of each constituent …

Concrete with coarse aggregate in the 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has broad prospects for
high strength, low cost and shrinkage. In this study, an extrusion-based 3D printer was …

Ship emissions problems caused by the rapid development of maritime trade can't be
ignored. The NO X, SO X, CO 2, PM and other toxic substances contained in the exhaust gas …

This work aimed to investigate the feasibility of utilizing the low-quality desulfurization ash
from semi-dry flue gas desulfurization by mixing with α-hemihydrate gypsum, and then the …

This work aimed to assess the influence of vinyl acetate and ethylene copolymer dispersible
powder (VAE-P) on the performance and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) of pervious …

In this study, fly ash was processed by the wet grinding process (ie WGFA), and the ions
dissolution of wet ground fly ash was examined. Then, Portland cement-wet grinded fly ash …

Dry-cured concrete usually suffers from a far more severe early-age shrinkage, resulting in
cracks that significantly deteriorate the corresponding mechanical properties. However, the …
