A systematic study of thirteen styrene-acrylate latex dispersions at 2 weight percent dosage finds mostly small strength reductions in cement ...

Researchers transformed tunnel excavation muck into fine-particle high-density concrete, showing that a coupled vacuum and vibration mixing process boosts compressive ...

Laboratory tests found that sodium-hydroxide conditioning improved fly ash aggregate strength, concrete compressive capacity, interfacial bonding, and water resistance, while ...

Brazilian researchers used HMDSO plasma coatings on cellulose fibers and found that an intermediate treatment, not the most hydrophobic one, ...

New research shows that trace doses of L-(+)-tartaric acid delay cement setting yet ultimately produce denser pore networks and significantly ...

A new study shows that self-protected underwater mortar, cast in polymer-treated water, loses significant freeze-thaw durability when sulfate-rich environments accelerate ...
