Sustainability effects of including concrete cracking and healing in service life prediction for marine environments [PDF]

, 2016
With today’s focus on sustainable design, it is necessary to adequately predict and prolong service life of concrete in marine environments. By introducing self-healing properties, service life extension can be achieved.

Sustainable Concrete: A Review [PDF]

International Journal of Structural and Civil Engineering Research, 2019
The demand for cement and concrete is highly increasing due to urbanization and increase in the world’s population. Portland cement production releases substantial amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere, which is causing the climate change.

Crack healing in cementitious materials including test methods [PDF]

, 2020
If concrete is crack free, deleterious substances can be avoided entering the body of the material, that may corrode the rebar or encourage freeze/thaw damage. This paper examines a self healing system of cementitious materials.

Evaluation of fresh and mechanical properties and shrinkage of hydrophobic mortar containing microfiber for 3D printing technology

Case Studies in Construction Materials
This study investigated the development of hydrophobic mortar tailored for three-dimensional (3D) printing applications by incorporating calcium stearate (CS) and polypropylene (PP) microfiber. CS was used as a partial hydraulic cement replacement at 10,

Development of high-CaO fly ash-based alkali-activated mortar for 3D printing technology

Case Studies in Construction Materials
A one-part alkali-activated mortar was developed for 3D printing technology (3DPT). High-CaO fly ash (FA) served as a binder, while sodium metasilicate (SM) was added as the alkali activator at dosages between 3.0 % and 9.0 % by weight of the binder ...
