Effect of Cement Types on Mechanical Strength, Durability, and Unit Production Cost of Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The primary aim of the present study is to identify the optimal cement type by jointly assessing mechanical performance, durability performance, and cost‐effectiveness using multicriteria decision‐making (MCDM) approaches. This study investigates the effects of four cement types commonly used in Bangladesh—CEM I/OPC, CEM II/A‐M (S‐V‐L), CEM II/B‐M (S‐V‐

Development of Ambient‐Cured Geopolymer Concrete: Investigating Bottom Ash as a Sustainable Alternative to Natural River Sand

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies on sustainable, low‐temperature cured GPC using industrial by‐products as fine aggregate replacements are limited.
