Abstract: Chemical admixtures are often added to concentrated cementitious suspensions in an effort to adjust their (1) rheology, i.e., yield stress and viscosity; (2) time of set, i.e., when plasticity is lost; and ...

Abstract: High albedo roof coatings are designed with the specific aim of reflecting a greater proportion of solar radiation compared to traditional roofing materials, thereby lowering the solar energy absorption into the roof. In ...

Abstract: This paper evaluates a nonmicrobial means of carbonate precipitation to heal cracks in concrete. Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) that relies on plant-derived urease enzyme is used to catalyze the reaction ...
