Innovative development and structural behavior of hollow columns using inflatable molds
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study introduces a novel approach for constructing hollow columns using precast (PC) methods enhanced by inflatable air tubes as internal molds. The proposed method addresses practical challenges in conventional hollow column construction, such as limited constructability, high production cost, and interference between internal molds and ...

Clays for Low‐Carbon Cements: Overview, Progress, and Challenges
Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.This review provides a critical overview of recent developments of activated clays to function as artificial pozzolans. After a thorough description of the clays that yield good pozzolanic performances, selected examples are given on thermal and mechanical activations. Chiefly, general correlations are extracted from reported data despite its scattered
