The proliferation of artificial concrete structures (ACSs) in the marine environment causes
intertidal habitat loss and is a poor surrogate for natural rocky shores in terms of species …

With the rapid consumption of more and more resources, the quality of energy stored in
resources decreases to cause the relentless increase in entropy on the earth. Due to …

If we are to monitor the chemical processes in cementitious materials, then pH assays in the
pore solutions of cement pastes, mortars, and concretes are of key importance. However …

Conductive cementitious materials have gained immense attention in recent years owing to
the possibility of achieving multifunctional materials. The usual approach has been to …

Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), the most used binder in construction, presents some
disadvantages in terms of pollution (CO 2 emissions) and visual impact. For this reason …

Abstract Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramics (CBPCs) and, in particular, Magnesium
Phosphate Cements (MPCs), show properties very adequate for using as repair mortar for …

Ecological concrete could reduce the environment impacts of the tremendous construction of
infrastructures due to its favorability to plant growth. Nonetheless, the alkalinity of the …

As any stone substrate is susceptible to biological colonisation, the choice of lithotype used
for construction is a key strategy for preventing biodeterioration. For this purpose, a …

Coastal marine ecosystems provide essential benefits and services to humanity, but many
are rapidly degrading. Human activities are leading to significant land take along coastlines …

This study aims to understand the role of recycled concrete aggregates and accelerated CO
