TL;DR: A critical review on recent research findings about GND modified cement-based materials was conducted in this paper, where the influence of GND on properties of cement matrix including microstructure, hydration, mechanical properties, etc.

TL;DR: The current advances in the development of the intrinsic healing cementitious materials are described, and a new definition of intrinsic self-healing discussed, and the methods to assess the efficiency of different healing mechanisms are briefly summarized.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction products and cementing mechanism of magnesium phosphate bonded cement based on the dead burned magnesia and the mono-potassium phosphate (MPP) are investigated, and the microstructure of specimens is analyzed by SEM, TEM, XDR, and optical microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of phase change material (PCM) on energy consumption of a typical multistory office building located in five different cities (Shenyang, Zhengzhou, Changsha, Kunming and Hong Kong) representing different climate regions of China, was simulated for a whole year using EnergyPlus Based on the simulation results, the energy savings resulting from PCM application were evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, a structural concrete with function of indoor temperature control was prepared by using macro encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) and porous lightweight aggregate (LWA) to serve as the carrier for PCM.
