Stone dust proves effective in cement gravel columns, boosting compressive strength and stability while maintaining permeability for geotechnical applications.
The most essential material in construction is concrete. It is durable, versatile, and strong. Not only concrete can stay stable for many years, be molded into different shapes and sizes, and ...
Concrete cracking is aesthetically unpleasing and can lead to structural defects. A new modelling tool is designed to address this. Concrete durability issues such as delayed ettringite formation make ...
The present study investigates the possibility of using sea sand, instead of silica sand, in producing engineered cementitious composites (ECCs) and the optimal mix proportion, mechanical behavior, ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. In this work, we propose an integrated process that combines ...
The mass loss between 40 and 200 °C is associated with the presence of hydrated products, including calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), calcium trisulfoaluminate hydrate (Aft or ettringite), calcium ...
This temperature was chosen because above 45 °C, thermal decomposition of C-S-H and ettringite occurs. The hydration process of these cements was also evaluated by X-ray diffraction, using the same ...
