Research on the Influence of Cellulose Fiber on the Performance of Steel Slag Cement Cementitious Materials
(ASCE, 2/27/2023 )The combination of steel slag and cement to prepare green cement-based materials can help with environmental pollution issues, but the effectiveness of the products suffers versus cement without steel slag. This paper ... -
Understanding the Impact of KNO3 on the Carbonation Behavior of γ-C2S
(ASCE, 3/22/2023 )γ-dicalcium silicate (γ-C2S) has received little attention in engineering applications due to its low hydraulicity, but it exhibits high carbonation reactivity and rapid strength gain with the added benefit of CO2 absorption, ... -
Fiber-Reinforced Alkali-Activated Cements from Ceramic Waste and Ladle Furnace Slag without Thermal Curing
(ASCE, 6/16/2023 )Alkaline-activated cement, as an alternative to conventional portland cement, is being increasingly studied due to its environmental advantages and engineering properties. However, research on the feasibility of using both ... -
Effects of Polyethylene Fiber Dosage and Length on the Properties of High-Tensile-Strength Engineered Geopolymer Composite
(ASCE, 5/22/2023 )This paper presents a high-tensile-strength engineered geopolymer composite (EGC) reinforced by polyethylene (PE) fibers. The influences of fiber dosage (1.5%, 1.75%, and 2.0%) and length (6, 12, and 18 mm) on the ... -
Preparation and Properties of Quartz-Anorthite Ceramics Synthesized
(ASCE, 5/16/2023 )Low-cost desert sand and coal fly ash were used to synthesize high-quality -
Interlayer Aggregates Embeddedness Index and Its Characterization for Interlayer Bonding Quality of Roller-Compacted Concrete
(ASCE, 7/18/2023 )Interlayer bonding is one of the critical principles of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) construction. The fundamental premise of ensuring interlayer bonding quality is embedding interlayer aggregates (IAs) into the lower ... -
Suitability Assessment Constraints of Potential Aggregate Resources Using an Integrated GIS Approach
(ASCE, 6/24/2023 )The commercial use of aggregate is ubiquitous in the construction of buildings and roads because aggregates provide strength, resistance, and support. This paper analyzes the constraints of aggregate rock use in Kurram ... -
A Simplified Mesoscale Approach for the Prediction of Drying Shrinkage of Concrete
