Abstract: This paper addresses the use of ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and reactive magnesia (MgO) blends for soil stabilization, comparing them with GGBS-lime blends and Portland cement (PC) for enhanced technical ...

Abstract: Shallow geothermal energy systems (SGES) are a promising technology for contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector. Soil thermal conductivity (λ) governs the heat transfer process in ground under a steady ...

Abstract: Reactive MgO has recently emerged as a potential activator for ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), which is one of the most widely used by-products in the cement industry. However, it is known that the characteristics ...

Abstract: The MgO granulated ground blast-furnace slag (GGBS) binder, as a novel binder, has gained increasing attention in recent decades in stabilization/solidification (S/S) to treat contaminated soils. In this study, the physical ...

Abstract: Over the last three decades, cutoff walls using soil mix technology have been developed and deployed to deliver in situ containment of contaminated sites. The aggressive contaminated soil environment imposes significant ...

Abstract: Aggressive environments significantly influence the durability and serviceability of hardened cement and concrete. This paper presents an evaluation of the resistance of ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) activated ...

Abstract: Consolidating previous research on the development of novel microcapsules for self-healing in cementitious systems, this work forms a base for developing an implementation strategy and guidance for microcapsule-based ...
