Concrete suffers significant performance degradation when exposed to high temperatures. This study explored the beneficial role of waste glass powder (WGP) in mitigating thermal damage and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) after elevated temperature exposure. The mechanism was elucidated through the chemical and microstructure changes, the composition of hydrates after exposure to elevated temperatures, and the subsequent re-curing. The presence of WGP significantly enhanced the residual mechanical properties of UHPC due to more wollastonite generation. The WGP also facilitated the recovery of mechanical properties and surface morphology during the post-fire self-healing process. The microstructural results confirmed that the WGP promoted the formation of the wollastonite phase in the thermal-damaged UHPC by reacting with the dehydrated products. Thermodynamic simulations indicated that the incorporation of WGP in UHPC resulted in an increase of liquid phase and its early appearance at high temperatures led to the transformation of γ-C₂S into more stable wollastonite phases. Meanwhile, the activation of unreacted WGP by limewater further generated secondary hydration products to reduce matrix porosity. These hydrates mainly consisted of C-(N)-S-H gels with a low calcium-to-silicon ratio (Ca/Si) and high sodium-to-silicon ratio (Na/Si) ratio, which could effectively fill the micropores and microcracks in UHPC. As a result, the densified microstructure induced by these regenerated C-(N)-S-H gels largely contributed to the recovery of the thermally damaged UHPC. The outcome of this study provides a decarbonization solution to address damages of UHPC exposed to fire conditions.

Aerated concrete exhibits anomalous water transport, similar to mortar and concrete. Several factors, including water sensitivity, air entrapment, and gravity, are considered to be the causes; however, they are currently not quantitatively understood. This study aimed to clarify the mechanisms underlying the anomalous absorption of aerated concrete through liquid absorption experiments and numerical simulations of liquid and air transfer. The experiments showed that, unlike mortar and concrete, aerated concrete exhibited decreasing absorption rates during the initial stage of absorption, even when organic liquids were absorbed. A comparison between the calculations of simultaneous air and liquid transfers and those of single-phase water transfer in a material revealed that increases in water content in the high-water-content region were significantly reduced by air-pressure buildup. Therefore, the water absorption of aerated concrete, which is characterized by coarse aerated pores, is sensitive to air entrapment in addition to the water sensitivity of the cement component.

To reduce cement's carbon footprint, there is growing interest in commercial adoption of sustainable SCMs such as calcined clays. However, the existing ASTM standard (R³ test, C1897) to test the reactivity of such clays takes up to 7 days and cannot be used for real-time quality control in an industrial setting. We address this issue by introducing a 5-min Ultra-Rapid Reactivity (UR²) test. By dissolving 47 clay specimens in 4 M NaOH solutions at 90 °C, we report that a dissolution index of 1.54Al + Si correlates strongly to the 7-day R³ heat (R² = 0.92, RMSE = 94.1 J/g). This dissolution index also correlates to the 28-day compressive strength for 14 clay mixtures (R² = 0.94, RMSE = 1.7 MPa). This UR² test relies on colorimetry and can be conducted via off-the-shelf, low-cost cameras. Overall, our new UR² test opens a pathway for real-time, low-cost quality control of calcined clays.

The challenge of compatibility between polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) and β-naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer (BNS) remains an enduring puzzle, requiring a comprehensive understanding of their interaction mechanism. In our study, the macroscopic properties, microscopic interfacial adsorption, and intermolecular forces are investigated in detail to elucidate the interaction between PCE and BNS. The results show that the dispersing ability of PCE and BNS decreases under different blending sequences. The increased adsorption of the blended superplasticizers indicates that PCE and BNS undergo synergistic adsorption on the surface of cement particles rather than competitive adsorption. Atomic force microscopy reveals a shift in the intermolecular forces of the blended superplasticizers from repulsion to attraction, including CH-π interactions and hydrophobic interactions. BNS adsorption on the PCE side chain results in the bending and collapse of the latter, which prevents PCE from providing steric hindrance. Moreover, PCE side chains wrap around BNS molecules, reducing the absolute value of zeta potential of cement particles' surfaces. The study, conducted through both experimental and theoretical methods, provides evidence that attractive forces between PCE and BNS have a disruptive influence on the original molecular structure.

Regulating the resistivity of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) infrastructure is crucial for endowing UHPC with intelligence and multifunctionality. In this study, we proposed a new approach to enhance the electrical conductivity of UHPC via high-temperature electric induction. When the temperature of electric-cured UHPC was heated to 90–130 °C, the resistivity dropped sharply. After electric curing, the resistivity of UHPC was significantly reduced from 8.7 MΩ·cm to 537.18 Ω·cm compared to that of steam-cured UHPC. It was confirmed that the tunneling effect and dielectric breakdown were the main reasons for the sudden resistivity drop during electric curing. Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and model experiments revealed the oriented deposition of new conductive products within the UHPC matrix. This approach also strengthened UHPC in 3 h comparable to 3-day steam curing of 90 °C. This work opened up a novel path in constructing effective conductive networks of cement-based materials.

Concrete features significant microstructural heterogeneity which affects its mechanical behavior. Strain localization in the matrix phase of concrete has received significant attention due to its relation to microcracking and our ability to quantify it with X-ray computed tomography (XRCT). In contrast, stresses in sand and aggregates remain largely unmeasured but remain critical for micromechanics-based theories of failure. Here, we use a combination of in-situ XRCT, 3D X-ray diffraction (3DXRD), and scanning 3DXRD to directly measure strain and stress within sand grains in two samples of mortar containing different sand volume fractions. Our results reveal that, in contrast to inclusion theories from continuum micromechanics, aggregates feature a broad distribution of average stresses and significant gradients in their internal stress fields. Our work furnishes the first known dataset with these quantitative stress measurements and motivates improvements in micromechanics models for concrete which can capture stress heterogeneity.

The combined effects of water pressure and water penetration on the mechanical behavior of concrete under hydraulic loading were investigated. When concrete is subjected to water pressure, a saturated zone forms near the surface and gradually progresses toward the interior over time, resulting in a non-homogeneous hybrid state with a saturated envelope and humid core (hybrid saturated state) during the initial stages of hydraulic loading. However, the mechanical behavior of concrete with a hybrid saturated state has hardly been investigated. This study performed the experiments on concretes with water pressures (~50 MPa). The results show that concrete with a hybrid saturated state exhibits higher peak mechanical stress than unconfined concrete. In contrast, the peak mechanical stress of fully saturated concrete remains comparable to that of unconfined concrete. This indicates that water penetration strongly influences the triaxial strength of concrete under water pressure, especially in the initial stages of hydraulic loading.

Hydrophobic-modified silica fume (HSF) with superior dispersion was synthesized by coating silane onto SF surface. Its influence on cement hydration, microstructure and properties of cement pastes was investigated. Results indicated that the silane on SF surface visibly depressed pozzolanic reaction at early ages. HSF retarded cement hydration by adsorbing on cement surface and more importantly, by interacting with Ca²⁺ in aqueous phase. For the first time, the accumulation of calcium around HSF was observed, leading to the growth of needle-like C–S–H perpendicular to HSF surface and eventually evolved into loose honeycomb-like gels. These loose gels promoted pozzolanic reaction and cement hydration at late ages. TEM and XRD results revealed that silane incorporated itself into C–S–H and altered structural order. Furthermore, adding HSF increased capillary pore size but refined the inter-hydrate pores at late ages. HSF visibly decreased the compressive strength compared with SF; however, the difference diminished at late ages.

Transformation of C-S-H is crucial in the deterioration of concrete at high temperatures. This study investigates the composition, structure, and morphology of C-S-H from 30 °C to 1000 °C using in-situ heating XRD, TGA/TG-IR, in-situ heating XPS, and in-situ heating TEM combined with image recognition. The results reveal that during heating, C-S-H undergoes weakly and strongly bound water loss, dehydroxylation, and transformation into CaSiO₃. During heating, the Si-O-Si bonds within C-S-H silicate chains remain highly stable. The primary change observed is the conversion of Si-OH groups into Si-O-Ca/Na following dehydroxylation. TEM morphology exhibits shrinkage and densification similar to ceramic sintering, with the overall process divided into five stages. The first three stages are dominated by dehydration and dehydroxylation, while the final two stages are governed by phase changes and liquid-phase sintering. The dehydration of C-S-H in the first stage has the greatest impact on shrinkage, while the fourth stage transforms the C-S-H morphology from foil-like to drop-like, having the largest effect on densification. Although the Ca/Si ratio of C-S-H remains constant during the heating, the crystallinity decreases. This study offers new insights into the mechanisms driving the transformation of C-S-H under heating.

C-S-H 的转变对混凝土在高温下的劣化至关重要。本研究采用原位加热 XRD、TGA/TG-IR、原位加热 XPS 和原位加热 TEM 并结合图像识别技术，研究了 C-S-H 在 30 °C 至 1000 °C 高温条件下的组成、结构和形态。结果表明，在加热过程中，C-S-H 经历了弱结合和强结合失水、脱羟基和转化为 CaSiO3 的过程。在加热过程中，C-S-H 硅酸盐链中的 Si-O-Si 键保持高度稳定。观察到的主要变化是脱羟基后 Si-OH 基团转化为 Si-O-Ca/Na 基团。TEM 形态显示出与陶瓷烧结类似的收缩和致密化，整个过程分为五个阶段。前三个阶段主要是脱水和脱羟基，最后两个阶段是相变和液相烧结。第一阶段中 C-S-H 的脱水对收缩率影响最大，而第四阶段则将 C-S-H 的形态从箔状转变为滴状，对致密化的影响最大。虽然在加热过程中 C-S-H 的 Ca/Si 比率保持不变，但结晶度却降低了。这项研究为研究 C-S-H 在加热过程中的转变机制提供了新的视角。

Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is a long-term chemical degradation induced in concrete by the difference in pH between the aggregate and the cement paste. ASR advancement is thus driven by the combination of the ionic species diffusion and the dissolution of reactive silica. In this paper, the reactive transport model is based on the principal sequence of the ASR-mechanisms: hydroxide, alkali and calcium diffusion, silica dissolution and reaction products precipitation. First, the proposed model highlights the impact of the competition between diffusion and dissolution kinetic on the formation of products in the depth of the aggregate particles according to the calcium concentration. Secondly, the numerical study on the size effect of the aggregate particles highlights the efficacy of this approach to reproduce the dependence of the products type formed during precipitation, allowing for the competition between ASR and pozzolanic effect to be reproduced.
