Abstract: Viscosity modifying admixtures (VMAs) show great potential in achieving the desired rheological properties for 3D concrete printing. In addition to rheology, water transport properties are critically important; due to the ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to understand the complex mechanisms through which the active ingredients of crystalline waterproofing agents change the microstructure of cement-based materials. Microstructural and phase ...

Abstract: In this study, the potential to directly use magnesium hydroxide as an alternative binder was investigated. A compaction molding technique was employed, where magnesium hydroxide powder was mixed with water at relatively ...

Abstract: US waste-to-energy (WTE) plants generate about 7 million tons of fly ash and bottom ash annually, mixed to combined ash (CA), which, after metal recycling, is disposed of in landfills. Fine-combined ash (FCA), the ...
