The quantitative determination of reaction degrees of cement and mineral admixture in composite binder is important to understand its hydration mechanism and microstructure development.The reaction de
The chloride permeability of concrete is mainly depended on the transport properties of concrete, while the results of rapid chloride migration (RCM) methods, which is virtually measurement of electri
Concrete materials are ubiquitous in the developed world due to their versatility and cost-effectiveness as a construction material, but their great potential for increased functionality remains under
In this review we discuss a wide range of alternative approaches to the reduction of CO2 emissions associated with the manufacture of the binder phase in concrete.They are classified broadly as follow
The durability of concrete has attracted significant attention over the past several decades and is still a research hotspot until now.This paper reviews and discusses recent research activities on th
The paper reviews the current status of service life prediction and performance testing for concrete structures.Part I emphasizes the advantages of performance-based approaches to durability predictio
Durability problems in concrete can often be linked to a high permeability, which is either caused by a high matrix permeability or the presence of cracks.Therefore, treatments that reduce the permeab
A mutual interaction occurs between the kinetics of the hydration of Portland cement and hydrated calcium silicate(C-S-H) formed as a result of the chemical reactions involved.The liquid phase composi
In cement chemistry, ferrite is one of the important liquid phases for producing industrial clinker.The reactivity of ferrite has not been investigated extensively and it is commonly assumed thatit hy
