Mechanical characterization of Portland cement with hollow glass microspheres two different crushing strengths, 500 (FM) and 10,000 psi (3 M), was carried out to determine both quasi-static dynamic responses the cementitious composites. In tests, time resolved high speed camera photos deforming specimens revealed stress levels at which incipient damage occurred. The split-Hopkinson pressure bar...

The search for technological solutions to the ever-increasing demand ultra-high-quality concrete with simultaneous construction boom represents one of greatest challenges researchers are facing nowadays. In view their unique properties, graphene and related materials, when utilized form graphene-based cementitious composites, appear be powerful components give a boost today's technology. this r...

Synopsis: Cementitious materials are generally classified as semi-conductors that are capable of carrying electricity when an external electrical signal is applied. The electrical properties of cementitious materials have been widely explored for monitoring their internal hydration processes. However, comparatively less work has been done in using the inherent electrical properties of cementiti...
