Abstract: Researchers and engineers have been looking at novel approaches to develop cementitious materials with decreased environmental impact without sacrificing performance and durability in response to these difficulties. Calcium Sulfoaluminate-Belite cement (CSAB) is a value-added binder that has gained popularity for its unique qualities and benefits. The CSAB cement system is regarded as an innovative and promising... More

Abstract: This research investigates the mixed proportions of cement, sand, water, superplasticizer, and waste materials, like recycled concrete, recycled rubber, recycled wood, tea-leaf residue, and recycled plastic, with their replacement levels clearly reported for reliability. Eight mixes were manufactured and tested at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR). The samples were then cured for 28... More

Abstract: The shift towards sustainable and circular building systems has placed modular timber systems in the limelight as an alternative with lower carbon footprints. Nevertheless, the durability of the used material and the efficiency of the reuse cycle are factors that are now significantly impacted by digitalization. In the investigation described in this article, the influence... More

Abstract: This study investigates the effect of steel wool fibre addition on the self-healing capability and Marshall performance of Asphalt Concrete Wearing Course (AC–WC). The concept of induction-activated self-healing is introduced to prolong pavement service life by restoring mechanical integrity after microcracking. Four fibre dosages (0%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) were evaluated through Marshall testing and... More
