Journal ArticleDOI
Role of slag in microstructural development and hardening of fly ash-slag geopolymer
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural development and hardening rate of fly ash-slag geopolymers were investigated using SEM-EDS, and the reaction rate was monitored using semi-adiabatic calorimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative Study of the Effects of Microsilica and Nanosilica in Concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the effects of adding silica fume and nanosilica to concrete and provided a better understanding of the changes in the concrete nanostructure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoscale Characterization of Cementitious Materials
TL;DR: In this article, a sample preparation technique was developed to image the nano- and microstructure of hardened cement paste using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and a special type of nanoindenter along with in-place scanning probe microscopy imaging was used to determine the nanoscale local mechanical properties, including the Young's modulus of the interfacial transition zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of silica additives on fracture properties of carbon nanotube and carbon fiber reinforced Portland cement mortar
TL;DR: In this paper, a broad study of Portland cement mortar mixtures containing silica fume, plain or silica-functionalized carbon nanotubes, and carbon fibers was performed to characterize changes in fracture properties.
Book ChapterDOI
Nanoscale Modification of Cementitious Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, an effective method of dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in cement matrix was developed, and significant improvements on the macro and nano-mechanical properties of cement paste were observed with the incorporation of CNTs.
