The use of waste brick powder (WBP) as supplementary cementitious material (SCM)
provides an effective approach to reclaiming construction and demolition (C&D) waste. This …

Influences of silane emulsion as hydrophobic agent on pore structure of hardened cement
paste (hcp), compressive strength and water absorption behavior of concrete were studied …

Development and commercialization of self-healing concrete is hampered due to a lack of
standardized test methods. Six inter-laboratory testing programs are being executed by the …

Capillary rise is a dominate mechanism for the subsequent salt crystallization damage on
concrete structures partially exposed to sulfate bearing environments. The aim of this study …

Anomalous moisture transport in cement-based materials is often reported in the literature,
but the conventional single-porosity moisture transport models generally fail to provide …

Water transport in the heat-damaged cement mortar is closely related to the evaluation of
durability for structures exposed to fire and the recycling of thermally damaged cement …

Polyurethane (PU) composite is increasingly used as a repair material for civil engineering
infrastructure, including runway, road pavement, and buildings. Evaluation of polyurethane …

Inspired by the structure design on biomaterials for drug delivery, the encapsulation of
hydrophobic capric acid (CA) core with a hydrophilic silica shell was proposed and …

The rapid ingress of water into concrete through cracks endangers the durability of concrete
structures. In this study, X-ray radiography was employed to monitor the capillary absorption …

Cracks promote the rapid ingress of water into concrete and shorten the service life of
concrete structures. As different deterioration factors form cracks of different sizes, it is …
