Micro-macro characterizations of mortar containing construction waste fines as replacement of cement and sand: A comparative study

Huixia Wu et al.

Summary: This study compares the micro-macro characteristics of sustainable mortar using construction waste fines as cement and sand replacement. The results show that waste concrete fines (WCF) and waste brick fines (WBF) exhibit pozzolanic activity, nucleation, and micro-aggregate filling effects. Replacing cement with WCF increases the porous structure while replacing with moderate WBF refines the pore structure; moreover, substituting WCF/WBF for sand refines the pore structure. Using appropriate WCF/WBF as cement replacement reduces drying shrinkage, but using them as sand replacement increases it. Incorporating WCF reduces the strength and permeability resistance, while the addition of WBF first improves and then declines these properties. Mixing WCF and WBF as sand replacement enhances the strength and permeability resistance. WBF blended mortar exhibits superior properties, and substituting WCF/WBF for both cement and sand can prepare sustainable mortar with similar or superior properties to plain mortar.

Effect of nickel slag on the basic tensile creep of alkali-activated slag/nickel slag mortars

Yu Ma et al.

Summary: The addition of nickel slag (NS) can significantly mitigate the autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag/nickel slag mortars (ASNms), reducing the risk of cracking. This is attributed to the decrease in hydration degree, reduction in calcium aluminosilicate hydrate content, increase in internal relative humidity, and decrease in basic tensile creep.

Performance of internal curing materials in high-performance concrete: A review

Fengming Xu et al.

Summary: One critical issue in the application of HPC is early cracking, which can be effectively addressed by internal curing methods that depend on the quantity, particle size, and absorbed water of the curing material. The study provides a comprehensive review of different internal curing materials for HPC and their effects on mechanical properties, autogenous shrinkage, and durability. Predicting equations for HPC with various internal curing materials are also proposed to aid further research and application.
