Mechanical Transformation of Fly Ash toward Its Utilization in Cemented Paste Backfill

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
Fly ash (FA) showed low reactivity when being used to prepare the binder for cemented paste backfill (CPB). In the present work, wet-grinding treatment was used to increase the pozzolanic reactivity of FA and promote its sustainable utilization.

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

open access: yesStructural 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 ...
