... replacement of ordinary Portland cement with LS at mass fractions of 10%, 20% and 30%, were investigated. The workability, mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of the LS-ECCs were systematically characterised. The results showed that LS impaired the flowability of fresh ECC mixtures...

...Yuqing Hu; Qi Zhu; Jianyong Pang; Gaozhan Zhang; Guojun Cai; Zuocai Wang The dynamic mechanical properties of rubber concrete reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol ( PVA ) micro-fibres under the combined effects of high temperature, corrosive solutions and impact loading were investigated using split...

... the material’s deformability. Liu et al. (2021) conducted a series of macro-scale and micro-scale experiments to further understand the mechanical properties of hybrid fibre-reinforced concrete (HFRC). They reported that the addition of steel fibres could significantly improve the strength index...

... ( PCE ) and lithium carbonate ( LC ) were used in an attempt to address the fast setting/hardening and unstable strength development of HBCSA cement paste. Using various dosages of LC and PCE, tests for fluidity, setting time, mechanical properties, hydration heat, adsorption and chemically bound...

... slag ( MSS ). Carbonated modified steel slag ( CMSS ) and SS were used as cement replacements, and the workability, mechanical properties and durability of the blended cements were evaluated. At a carbonation pressure below 0.5 MPa, aragonite formed alone in aqueous solution. When the carbonation...

... with the new LPC were studied. The LPC materials produced with 5% or 10% BWP showed improved mechanical properties, drying shrinkage and durability compared with the reference systems. This study contributes to the development of new cements by minimising the clinker content. The new LPC prepared...

... advantages. Although the mechanical properties and durability of BFS concrete are excellent, there are still some issues that need to be addressed – for example, significant drying shrinkage. To mitigate the drying shrinkage, a shrinkage-reducing agent ( SRA ) is one important kind of admixture...

...) to ordinary Portland cement enhances its water resistance. This study thus investigates the effect of ethylene vinyl acetate-based RPP on the mechanical properties and water stability of magnesium potassium phosphate cement (MKPC). The findings indicate that incorporating 0.5% RPP in MKPC achieves the highest...

..., mechanical properties and hydration products of FETNS–ordinary Portland cement (OPC) composite cementitious systems were studied. The addition of calcium hydroxide was found to shorten the initial setting time by about 40% and the final setting time by about 20%. The compressive strength at 3, 7, 28 and 60...

... enhanced the performance of the WTA-based geopolymer, especially its mechanical properties and durability. When 10% FA was replaced by MK, the compressive strength of the LWGP increased by 5.5–40.4%, and the residual strength after sulfate attack, freeze–thaw cycles, and high-temperature treatment...
