Abstract: Lightweight concrete (LWC) has been developed and used in both structural and nonstructural applications. With an increasing demand for sustainable construction materials, geopolymer as an eco-friendly material has been ...

Abstract: The truncated square pyramid (TSP) folded structure was proposed recently, and its advantages such as easy fabrication, superior energy-absorption capacity, and better impact performance than many other types of core ...

Abstract: A metamaterial is an engineered material made by embedding engineered cores (heavy cores coated with a soft coating) into a matrix, which generates bandgaps such that stress waves with frequencies falling into the bandgaps ...

Abstract: The application of geopolymer concrete (GPC) in construction could reduce a large amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emission, which is greatly beneficial to environmental sustainability. Structures made of GPC might be subjected ...

Abstract: The use of low-emission geopolymer concrete (GPC) and noncorrodible basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars is an effective strategy in the bid for net zero emissions and making sustainable and durable structures. To ...

Abstract: The effect of methylcellulose, an organic admixture, on the mechanical properties and vibration characteristics of newly developed geopolymer paste (GP) and hybrid fiber-reinforced geopolymer (FRG) composite is investigated ...

Abstract: Iron tailing porous concrete (ITPC) is a type of foamed concrete material that uses iron ore tailings powder to partially replace cement. As a relatively new concrete-like material, only very limited research on the dynamic ...
