Abstract: This paper presents the findings of a research program that developed prediction equations for estimating the flexural strength of degraded paste beams. Deterioration was attributable to calcium leaching from the beam’s ...

Abstract: Carbon capture utilization and storage technique (CCUS) is an effective way to mitigate climate change. Carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration binders (CSB) composed of hydrated lime (CH) and cement has great application ...

Abstract: This work investigates the influence of calcium leaching on mechanical and physical properties of limestone powder (LS)–cement pastes cured under different temperatures. In order to achieve this goal, three different mass ...

Abstract: It is important to study the steel corrosion inhibition behavior in complex chloride salt environments. This paper uses the fact that calcined layered double hydroxides (CLDHs) have a certain memory effect, which means ...

Abstract: Corrosion of reinforcement bar caused by chloride ions diffusion is a crucial durability problem for concrete structures. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a new type of corrosion inhibitor. Previous research has concentrated ...

Abstract: This work assessed the effect of compressive fatigue on sulfate ion diffusion in standard-cured and steam-cured concrete containing slag. After compressive fatigue, the slag concretes were immersed in 5% sodium sulfate ...

Abstract: Cellulose ethers (CE) are generally used in cement-based materials as viscosity modifying admixtures. However, previous investigations scarcely focused on the effect of CE on the carbonation behavior of host materials. ...
