Abstract: In this paper, quaternary hydrotalcite [layered double hydroxide (LDH)] (CoFeMgAl-LDH) was first fabricated based on the coprecipitation method, and then, CoFeMgAl-LDH/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite was synthesized by ...

Abstract: Phase change material (PCM) is a strategic choice for storing energy and regulating the building temperature. It has been successfully integrated into cement-based materials, significantly affecting mechanical properties. ...

Abstract: To investigate the stress distribution in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) under uniaxial compression, modeled recycled aggregate concrete (MRAC) was studied by numerical simulation. The mechanical properties of interfacial ...

Abstract: The filling layer of a China rail track system III (CRTS III) type ballastless track structure of a high-speed railway is a complicated structure typically constructed from self-compacting concrete (SCC). Excellent properties ...

Abstract: The effect of cyclic loading deterioration on freeze-thaw and carbonation resistances of concrete were experimentally investigated in this study. A novel loading method was designed, which simultaneously considers both ...

Abstract: This study numerically investigates the failure processes of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and natural aggregate concrete (NAC). A two-dimensional simulation based on a discrete-element method (DEM) is conducted with ...

Abstract: As a pozzolan, waste glass powder (WGP) can improve the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, especially at a later age. However, the modification mechanisms should be fully understood and discussed. One of the ...

Abstract: The influence of

Abstract: The influence of nanolimestone/nanoCaCo3 (NC) on the properties of ultrahigh-performance concrete (UHPC) cured at standard and heat conditions was experimentally investigated. The NC was used at ratios of 1, 2, and 3% as ...
