Recycling aluminosilicate-based solid wastes is imperative to realize the sustainable development of constructions. By using alkali activation technology, aluminosilicate-based solid wastes, such as furnace slag, fly ash, red mud, and most of the bio-ashes, can be turned into alternative binder materials to Portland cement to reduce the carbon...

The accumulation of phosphorus in activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) provides potential for phosphorus recovery from sewage. This study delves into the potential for releasing phosphorus from waste activated sludge through two distinct treatment methods—thermal hydrolysis and pH adjustment. The investigation was conducted...

Most injuries in football occur in the lower extremities due to high muscle stress. To prevent such injuries, the Dutch Football Association (KNVB) and the Delft University of Technology developed the Smart Sensor Shorts, an inertial sensor-based tracking system measuring the athlete’s lower body kinematics, to improve physical load estimates...

In this paper, the authors characterized two types of zonation within slag rims in aged alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems through SEM and TEM technology. These two elemental zonation were closely related to the pore structure of AAS pastes, thus providing strong implication for the transport- and durability-related performance of AAS...

In this study, the impacts of tap water immersion on the pore solution, phase assemblages, gel chemistry and structure, and pore structure of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes were studied. AAS degrades under such condition and the potential mechanisms can be concluded as lower reaction rates, gel decomposition and carbonation. The leaching...

Dwarf galaxies are characterized by a very low luminosity and low mass. Because of significant accretion and ejection activity of massive black holes, some dwarf galaxies also host low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs). In a few dwarf AGNs, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations have found faint non-thermal radio...

The coupling effect of initial shear stress and thermal cycles on the thermomechanical behaviour of clay concrete and sand-concrete interfaces has been studied. A set of drained monotonic direct shear tests was conducted at the soil-concrete interface level. Samples were initially sheared to half of the material's shear strength and then they...

This study investigates the deformation of free and stress of restrained alkali-activated slag concrete (AASC), respectively, under semi-adiabatic condition. The concrete shows first thermal expansion, which is compensated soon by autogenous shrinkage. The subsequent cooling down of the concrete aggravates shrinkage and development of tensile...

The present study explores the possibility of replacing blast furnace slag (BFS) with coal fly ash (FA) to produce alkali-activated material (AAM) concrete with hybrid precursors. With an increased FA replacement ratio, the reaction kinetics, fresh and hardened properties of AAM mixtures have been investigated. The retardation effect on the...

Infrastructure projects are costly, colossal, complex, captivating, controversial, and laden with control issues. The development of these projects causes environmental, social, and political disruptions in the local environment, which have to be carefully handled by professionals in the field. This article aims to enhance the performance of...

The sustainable development of groundwater resources in arid and semi-arid regions is a challenging task hindered by climate change and human activities. The rational utilization and management of groundwater resources is, therefore, dependent on an understanding of the influences of human and climatic factors on the spatial distribution of...

Herein, we report the development of a self-sensing and active corrosion protection coating which incorporates pH-sensitive multilayer chitosan/alginate-covered CaCO<sub>3</sub> microcontainers containing 1,10-phenanthrolin-5-amine (APhen). The microcontainers can respond to pH variation to release APhen which serves not only as a corrosion...

Supplementary control (SC) technology is widely leveraged by power supply companies in active distribution networks (ADNs) to improve their stability and dynamic characteristics. Yet, the existed SCs are generally implemented from inside the converter controllers of distributed generators (DGs) or active loads, so there is a need to redesign...

Transport of chlorides is one of the most critical factors determining the service life of concrete structures under ocean environments, and diffusion is usually regarded as the major mechanism for the transport of chloride ions into concrete. As chloride diffusivity is affected by temperature, most existing service life prediction models use...

One interesting part of the application of human activity recognition is sports motion recognition and classification. In recent years, many commercial wearable devices have been used for recording and supervising motion data information during sports. However, their claimed high-accuracy results but motion recognition and classification method...

This study investigates the drying shrinkage and the shrinkage-induced stress of alkali-activated blast furnace slag and fly ash concrete (AC) in comparison with ordinary Portland cement concrete (OC). For samples that were dried from 1 day after casting, the drying shrinkage of AC was much higher than that of OC. For samples that were stored...

The widely acknowledged high-voltage direct current (HVDC) technology has now been accepted as a solution of connecting renewable energy sources. However, this technology is vulnerable when facing DC-side faults; due to<br/>the low DC impedance, the fault current can rise to an extremely high value in a short time. In addition, when building a...

The vacuum interrupter is used as the key component of an active DCCB due to its excellent interruption and dielectric recovery characteristics after current zero. The vacuum interrupter can only interrupt the fault currents below the limitation of a critical di/dt and TIV, otherwise it causes a reignition and the interruption failure. In...

Inadequate treatment of wastewater effluent is one of the major point sources of pollution of organic micropollutants (OMPs) into aquatic environments. Wastewater treatment plants need to be upgraded to reduce OMP contamination. Recently, the combination of pre-ozonation and granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration has been proposed as a...
