Enhancing durability of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts using SCMs: A comparative study with delithiated beta spodumene

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steam curing is commonly used to manufacture precast culverts to accelerate early strength development. This study investigates the effect of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) on the permeability properties of steam‐cured precast concrete culverts.

Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Effects of nanosilica on the calcium silicate hydrates in Portland cement–fly ash systems [PDF]

, 2015
Cementitious materials have a complex chemistry and naturally form nanostructures in the hydration process, a network of calcium silicate hydrates. It is considered that nanoparticles such as nanosilica could act as a pozzolanic material as well as a ...

Cold‐curing effects on the strength development and sulfuric acid resistance of basalt fiber‐reinforced hybrid alkali‐activated slag mortars

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Cold weather conditions impose substantial constraints upon the performance and long‐term resilience of concrete materials. Alkali‐activated slag (AAS) presents itself as a promising substitute, exhibiting sustained hydraulic activity even when exposed to ambient conditions characterized by low temperatures.

Synthetic Calcium Silicate Hydrates

, 2017
Since the introduction of cementitious materials over 200 years ago, its use has multiplied many fold to be currently at 3 billion tonnes per year, accounting for about 8% of worldwide carbon emission which is forecast to double within the next 30 years. Upon hydration of cementitious materials, the principle product formed is Calcium Silicate Hydrate (

Mechanical, rheological, and durability performances of GGBS‐based concrete for potential application to prestressed structures

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Ground granulated blast‐furnace slag (GGBS) is a widely used clinker substitute in concrete, recognized for its potential to significantly reduce environmental impacts. However, its application in prestressed concrete remains limited in several countries, mainly due to concerns regarding early‐age mechanical performance and long‐term ...
