Abstract: Agricultural by-products are increasingly used in the production of bio-based concrete. Compaction forming technology was used in this study to develop a sustainable biocomposite made from corn stalk (CS) and magnesium ...

Abstract: This study investigated the use of portland cement (PC)–ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) binary cement (BC), which was improved by chemical activation and nanomodification, as a potential alternative to PC for ...

Abstract: This study investigates the compressive and tensile strength properties of cement-stabilized dredged sludge (CDS) improved by straw fiber (SF) and nano-SiO2 (NS). The influence factors, including SF content, NS content, ...

Abstract: Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly building material. However, ordinary portland cement (OPC) mortar is prone to cracking and spall when it is used for surface plastering of ...

Abstract: Recycling of phosphate tailings (PT) in cement production can reduce the amount of this solid waste and its consequent pollution. This paper used high content of calcined PT as an alternative to light-burned magnesia to ...

Abstract: The influence of silica fume (SF) on the strength and water resistance of magnesium–ammonium phosphate cement (MAPC) was investigated, and the improvement mechanism was also studied by employing analysis techniques that ...
