Concrete diffusivity is a function of its microstructure on many scales, ranging from nanometres to millimetres. Multi-scale techniques are therefore needed to model this parameter.

Multi-scale simulation of capillary pores and gel pores in Portland cement paste [PDF]
The microstructures of Portland cement paste (water to cement ratio is 0.4, curing time is from 1 day to 28 days) are simulated based on the numerical cement hydration model, HUMOSTRUC3D (van Breugel, 1991; Koenders, 1997; Ye, 2003).

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

Static and Fatigue Tests on Cementitious Cantilever Beams Using Nanoindenter
Cement paste is the main binding component in concrete and thus its fundamental properties are of great significance for understanding the fracture behaviour as well as the ageing process of concrete.

SEM-Backscattered Imaging analysis of Cementitious Composite Matrix Incorporating Mineral Admixture [PDF]
Microstructure imaging interpretation of polished surface has become well established as a method for the study of cement and concrete microstructure. This paper is an attempt to provide micro-level examination to the microstructure of cement paste in ...

The conductive potential of nano carbon black (NCB) in cement paste is restricted due to its tendency to agglomerate. To address this issue, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is proposed as a dispersant to enhance the performance of the nano carbon black ...

Study of cement-fly ash paste exposed to sodium sulfate solutions with different concentrations at different temperatures [PDF]
When concrete elements are partially exposed to sulfate environment, in the upper part of concrete elements above ground an aquiferous zone containing almost saturated and high pH value (> 12.5) sulfate pore solution will be formed.

The effect of undrained heating on a fluid-saturated hardened cement paste [PDF]
The effect of undrained heating on volume change and induced pore pressure increase is an important point to properly understand the behaviour and evaluate the integrity of an oil well cement sheath submitted to rapid temperature changes.

Investigation on influential factors on chloride concentration index of cement-based materials by pore solution expression method [PDF]
In this study, the effects of different factors on chloride concentration index (N-c) of cement paste were studied. The factors including chloride concentration in soaking solution, slag replacement, external applied voltage and cation ions of soaking ...

Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including
