To properly control the reaction kinetics and fresh properties evolution in conventional alkali-activated materials (AAMs), a conceptual design of two-stream AAMs has been proposed in this study. This is achieved by dividing the solid and liquid components in AAMs, including blas ...
Self-healing cementitious materials show potential to reduce material consumption, maintenance costs, and environmental impacts within the construction sector. This study explores the feasibility of installing a ductile-porous vascular network in a series of retaining walls under ...
3D printed concrete (3DPC) creates opportunities, including a reduction in construction waste and time and increased design freedom. However, because of the differences in the construction technique compared to traditional concrete casting, the structures also perform differently ...
The fracture process in self-healing concrete with embedded brittle capsules entails challenges in terms of understanding how and when these capsules break to release the agent. This paper presents a combined experimental–numerical investigation in which a versatile three-dimensi ...
