Binders containing portlandite (Ca (OH) 2) can take up carbon dioxide (CO2) from dilute flue
gas streams (< 15% CO2, v/v), thereby forming carbonate compounds with binding …

In the interest of utilizing high-plasticity excavation soil as a replacement for fine aggregate
in cement mortar, a study on the thermal treatment of soils containing 25% and 40% clay …

The addition of phase change materials (PCMs) has been proposed as a means to mitigate
thermal cracking in cementitious materials. However, the addition of PCMs, ie, soft …

This paper presents a new multiscale pore network modelling framework for predicting
saturated and unsaturated permeability of OPC-based cementitious materials using a novel …

This paper presents a new multiscale framework to estimate water sorption isotherms (WSI)
for ordinary Portland cement (OPC) based materials. This is achieved by integrating:(i) …

A new analytical framework that relies on minimal inputs and combines a number of existing
techniques to estimate reversible drying shrinkage strain of OPC-based materials is …

Self-leveling mortars (SLM) have a high filler content in their composition to achieve fluidity,
without component separation. These mortars are mainly used in floor systems and have a …

Ordinary portland cement (OPC) has been used as the primary binding material in concrete
for construction of buildings and other infrastructure over the last century due to its low-cost …

Cementitious materials are the main pillar of modern construction and urbanization. With
their endless practical applications and diversity of utilization from small village houses to …

The importance of satisfactory durability performance of cement-based materials (CbM) has
been recently recognized. As durability distresses typically involve the transfer of water and …
