Abstract: In order to improve the damage resistance of concrete, a cement-based self-healing additive (abbreviate as CS) was prepared. To investigate the influence of CS on the self-healing performance of cementitious material, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermal analysis were used to investigate the effects of different dosages of CS on the hydration process and hydration products...

Abstract: The evaluation of the effect of using moringa oleifera seed powder (MOSP) to partially replace cement by wt. % has been carried out. A mix parameter of 1: 1.7: 2.5, with designed strength of 20 kN-m2 , and a cement content of 420 kg-m3 , water-cementitious ratio of 0.5, to produce concrete specimens to which... More
