Synchrotron Microtomography and Neutron Radiography Characterization of the Microstruture and Water Absorption of Concrete from Pompeii [PDF]
Cement and Concrete Research 139 (2021) 106282, 2020 There is renewed interest in using advanced techniques to characterize ancient Roman concrete. In the present work, samples were drilled from the "Hospitium" in Pompeii and were analyzed by synchrotron microtomography (uCT) and neutron radiography to study how the microstructure, including the presence of induced cracks, affects their water adsorption.

USES OF DRY VINASSE AS A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIAL TO IMPROVE PROPERTIES OF CEMENT MORTAR AND CONCRETE [PDF]
JES: Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2020 This study aims at using the sugar by-product (dry vinasse), as one of the concrete production requirements, instead of getting rid of them in vain. Dry vinasse was obtained by drying liquid vinasse at 250 ° C.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of the Fracture Behavior of Particle Reinforced Alkali Activated Slag Mortars [PDF]
Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, 2019, 2019 This paper presents fracture response of alkali-activated slag (AAS) mortars with up to 30% (by volume) of slag being replaced by waste iron powder which contains a significant fraction of elongated particles. The elongated iron particles act as micro-reinforcement and improve the crack resistance of AAS mortars by increasing the area of fracture ...
