A two-fold strategy towards low-carbon concrete
Concrete is by a substantial margin the most widely used construction material. Projections indicate that the demand for concrete it will continue to increase to sustain the development of emerging economies. This paper presents a new perspective of low-

Dispersing Effect of Core Cross-linked Star Polycarboxylate Superplasticizers on the Cement Paste [PDF]
Researches on topological modification of polycarboxylate superplasticizers to improve the water-reducing or slump-retainning properties have been a hot topic in rencent years. Herein, a core crosslinked star polycarboxylate superplasticizers (SPCE) were

Research on Flocculation of Cement Particles in Water [PDF]
Nowadays, workability is absolutely necessary for piping concrete, which is influenced by characteristics of structure of fresh cement paste. In this paper, the movement of particles in electric field and flocculent units at different W/C were observed ...

Machine Learning-based Prediction of Porosity for Concrete Containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials [PDF]
Porosity has been identified as the key indicator of the durability properties of concrete exposed to aggressive environments. This paper applies ensemble learning to predict porosity of high-performance concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials.

Compatibility of portland cement and polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers in high-strength concrete for precast constructions [PDF]
Application of polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers can contribute to the increase of concrete early strength. It makes possible to obtain the concrete of the required strength after heat-steaming treatment with decreasing the isothermal temperature ...

Supramolecular impactmechanism of polycarboxylate superplasticizers on controlled hardening building nanocomposites [PDF]
: Introduction. The use of modifying nano-additives in the production of binding building materials is one of the most effective ways to control the technological parameters of concrete by conducting good control of the rheological characteristics ...

Distribution of corrosion products at the steel-concrete interface of XD3 concrete samples
This research paper deals with the steel/concrete interface of concrete samples with and without green inhibitor (orange peel extract) and with different two types of superplasticizers (Mapei Dynamon SR 31 and Oxydtron) after an 18 months exposure in ...
