A floating unit with three pontoons made of epoxy-coated carbon textile reinforced, ultra-high durability concrete (ECF UHDC), mineral impregnated carbon fibre-reinforced UHDC (MCF UHDC) and, as references, steel-reinforced concretes has been designed and installed in the Northern Atlantic. While marine structures with steel reinforcement require large cover depths, which cause problems in size, cost, environmental friendliness and short service life, carbon textile reinforced concrete (TRC) cannot suffer from chloride-induced corrosion of a metal reinforcement. In the EU H2020 project “ReSHEALience” (rethinking coastal defence and green-energy service infrastructures through enhanced-durability highperformance cement-based materials), TRCs have been modified with functional admixtures from consortium partners. A mineral self-healing promoter and alumina nano-fibers have, among others, been implemented to boost high-performance concretes towards UHDCs. Resulting composite variants have been applied in a full-scale floating unit that has been launched in the harbor of Galway at the Irish West Coast in June 2020. Such a floating body is a representation of breakwaters installed to reduce wave impacts to the coast. Besides, TRC-based UHDC can be applied as strengthening and repair layer on concrete structures to enhance their service life in general.

The self-healing of strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCCs) causes the recovery of the debonded fiber-to-matrix interface by the products of autogenous healing (mainly calcium carbonates). The recovery of chemical bond Gd has been detected in the reactive magnesia cement (RMC)-based SHCC (SHMC), and the recovery of frictional bond τ0 has been detected in both SHMCs and normal SHCCs. While these phenomena can significantly alter the fiber-bridging σ-w relationship in SHCCs, they have not been quantified in any existing analytical models. In this work, we present a new fiber-bridging model that captures the effect of self-healing of RMC-based SHCC. On the single-fiber level, the debonding and slip-hardening of the fiber-to-matrix interface induced by a tensile preloading as well as the recovery of the interface properties by self-healing are coherently quantified in a clear kinetic process. On the fiber-bridging level, the tensile stress vs. crack width curve is formed by summing individual fibers’ tensile load vs. displacement relationship. The modeling results can well capture the fiber-bridging behavior of the self-healed SHCC specimens. Further, a parametric study is conducted to investigate the tensile behavior of SHCC after self-healing. The effects of preloading levels, recovered τ0, and fiber strength are discussed.

This paper presents a finite element simulation of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) since it is one of the most common and successful severe plastic deformation techniques. This study reports the influence of the most significant factors influencing the ECAP technique. Through finite element simulation, the effect of the die geometry, workpiece geometry, and the pressing speed on the effective strain distributions, damage, and pressing loads, were investigated. The influence of the ECAP method on different material models is also presented. Additionally, the prospective expansion and future applications of ECAP are herein highlighted. From the results, the die geometry of a 90° channel imparts the highest strains during ECAP. Additionally, specimens of rectangular geometry are susceptible to cracking and damage as compared to circular samples. It was found that very high processing speeds (>7mm/sec) are undesirable during ECAP since they cause very high internal stresses to the structure of the workpieces. Besides, processing at room temperature can achieve homogeneous strain distribution with minimum sample damage.

The environmental awareness and concerns (plastic pollution) worldwide have driven the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly biopolymer derived from renewable materials. Biopolymers, especially L-lactic acid (L-LA) have played a crucial role in manufacturing polylactic acid, a biodegradable thermoplastic. Recently, L-LA production from non-edible macroalgal biomass has gained immense attraction due to it offers the simplest saccharification process for the biorefinery route. However, the commercialization of macroalgal-based L-LA is still limited due to high production costs. This paper has comprehensively reviewed the potential and development of third-generation feedstock for L-LA production, including significant technological barriers to be overcome for potential commercialization purposes. Then, an insight into the state-of-the-art hydrolysis and fermentation technologies using macroalgae as feedstock are also deliberated in detail. Furthermore, this review provides a conceivable picture of macroalgae-based L-LA biorefinery and future research directions that can be served as an important guideline for scientists, policymakers, and industrial players.

According to the experience in the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects in the Mainland, RCC dam construction has two main advantages: the rapid construction speed of roller compacted concrete can realize early power generation, and the price of fly ash is much lower than that of cement, which can reduce the project cost. Tibet has special geographical environment and climatic conditions, and generally has the characteristics of “high altitude, low pressure, low temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, and dry climate”. Taking the dam-building environment in central Tibet as an example, through investigation and research and analogy of similar projects, this paper analyzes the adaptability of construction of RCC gravity dams in Tibet from the aspects of geographical environment, climatic conditions, material properties, construction progress, and project cost. Adaptability to high altitudes. It provides a reference for choosing a safe, reliable, economical and reasonable dam type in the construction of water conservancy and hydropower projects.

Autogenous self-healing of water retaining concrete structures is included in Eurocode 1992-3 as a possibility to heal cracks up to a width of 200 μm without additional repair. In this self-healing scenario water flow through a crack should result in a progressive closure of the fracture, mainly due to CaCO3 precipitation, when certain hydraulic gradients are met, the pH of the water is > 5.5 and the concentration of CO2 in the water remains < 40 mg*L-1. The material composition is not further restricted by the regulation. However, despite standardization, the healing effect seems to be random in practice, which requires further research, while experiments aimed at quantifying autogenous self-healing are expensive and time-consuming. Thermodynamic models could support in estimating the effect of different environments such as groundwater or seawater exposure on autogenous self-healing. Moreover, adjusting the water chemistry according to the conditions of different construction sites and changing the material design could easily be considered. In this study thermodynamic models of a hydrated CEM I 52.5 R paste that is exposed to either simulated groundwater or seawater are discussed concerning the influence on autogenous self-healing and compared to experimental and literature data.
欧洲规范1992-3中包含了自愈水混凝土结构的可能性，即愈合宽度达200 μm的裂缝而无需额外修复。在这种自愈情景中，水流通过裂缝会导致裂缝逐渐闭合，这主要是由于CaCO3的沉淀，当满足一定的水力梯度时，水的pH值> 5.5，水中CO2浓度保持在< 40 mg*L-1。该法规没有进一步限制材料成分。然而，尽管标准化，但在实践中愈合效果似乎是随机的，这需要进一步研究，而旨在量化自愈的实验既昂贵又耗时。热力学模型可支持估算不同环境(如地下水或海水)对自愈的影响。此外，还可以考虑根据不同施工场地的条件调整水化学成分，改变材料设计。本研究讨论了水合CEM I 52.5 R膏体暴露于模拟地下水或海水中的热力学模型，并与实验和文献数据进行了比较。

The general public perspective on sago flour quality is based on the perceived colour appearances. This contributed to the potential of food fraud by excessive usage of bleaching agents such as calcium hypochlorite (CHC) to alter the product’s colour. Conventional methods to detect and quantify CHC such as titration and chromatography are time-consuming, expensive and limited to laboratory setups only. In this research, visible near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (Vis-NIR HSI) was combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) model to quantify CHC in pure sago flour accurately and rapidly. Hyperspectral images with the spectral region of 400 nm to 1000 nm were captured for CHC-pure sago mixture samples with CHC concentration ranging from 0.005 w/w% to 2 w/w%. Mean reflectance spectral data was extracted from the hyperspectral images, and was used as inputs to develop the PLSR model to predict the CHC concentration. The PLSR model achieved the commendable predictive results in this study, with Rp = 0.9509, RMSEP = 0.1655 and MAPEP of 3.801%, proving that Vis-NIR HSI can effectively predict the concentration of CHC in sago flour.

Due to its low tensile strength and the presence of defects brought on by improper construction methods or other factors, cracks in concrete are practically inevitable. For reinforced-concrete structures, even if cracks do not necessarily increase the risk of collapse, they unquestionably hinder aspects such as service life. Self-healing cementitious materials have been developed because of growing concern for the security and sustainability of structures. For these new materials to be used in actual structures, it is essential to conduct research into the self-repair effect that they may offer, and possibly quantify it directly on-site, by means of non-destructive methods. In this sense, the objective of this work is to use Acoustic Emission (AE) analyses to non-destructively characterise the response of an autonomic capsule-based system, as a function of the specific polymeric healing agents contained in the capsules. Comparisons will be made between the reference and selfhealing specimens, and between the different self-healing specimens themselves, through the analysis of such parameters as the ultimate load, absorbed fracture energy, and emitted Acoustic Emission (AE) energy. Such type of analysis can give valuable insights not only on quantitative but also on qualitative aspects (such as the level of brittleness or ductility introduced by the specific self-healing system adopted) in view of possible applications in real structures.

This paper focuses on sustainable cementitious composites in terms of their conductivity, hydration and self-sensing properties, which are key features for smart city infrastructures. Smart cities have massive infrastructures that are interconnected, transmitting data and information for health-monitoring and performance optimization. In this regard, having them made of sustainable building materials (concrete) that are also sufficiently conductive, will be a suitable solution for structures’ performance. The studied sustainable cementitious mixtures are made by sea components (sea water and sea sand), which are abundant resources. The primary goal of this study is to improve the mixes’ electrical conductivity and sensitivity. To achieve this goal, milled carbon fibres (MCFs) and chopped carbon fibres (CCFs) in 6 different proportions were added to the cementitious mixes. The experimental study is divided into impedance spectroscopy to study the conductivity and hydration development, and self-sensing properties, conducted on various mix designs. The results show that incorporating sea components improve the electrical conductivity of the mixes by 40-50%. Further improvements were achieved by adding MCF as it shows a remarkable reduction by 60% compared to the plain ss-sw (sea sand and sea water) samples. Adding CCF improved the conductivity even further and resulted in sample’s resistivity as low as 53 Ωcm after 1 year of curing time.

Smart cities have massive infrastructures that are interconnected, transmitting data and information for health-monitoring and performance optimization. In this regard, having them made of sustainable building materials (concrete) that are also sufficiently conductive, will be a suitable solution for structures’ performance.
