Engineers at RMIT University in Australia have converted low-grade clay into a high-performance cement supplement, opening a ...

This research highlights MDCGM, a magnetically driven grouting material that optimizes underwater crack repair with enhanced ...

For weeks, the whiteboard in the lab was crowded with scribbles, diagrams, and chemical formulas. A research team across the ...

A microscopic look reveals how the unique ‘handshake’ between rubber and cement could be key to durable, sustainable ...

When it comes to my in-shower process, I'm usually a two-step kind of girl. I like to lather up with bar soap before moving ...

However, the cement hydration process is highly dynamic, and compressive strength is dependent on several factors including but not limited to the mix design, quality of the raw materials (cement, ...

it reacts with lime – a byproduct of the cement hydration process or added as hydrated lime – to form additional compounds that strengthen the concrete. This reaction increases the concrete's ...

Less need for water and the “spherical shape” of fly ash also factor into the material’s ease-of-use, as do shorter set times and a faster rate of cement hydration and pozzolanic reactions.
