Siang Ng, Ding (author), Paul, Suvash Chandra (author), Anggraini, Vivi (author), Kong, Sih Ying (author), Qureshi, Tanvir Shams (author), Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), Liu, Qing feng (author), Šavija, B. (author)This study explores the effects of different types of nanoparticles, namely nano-SiO<sub>2</sub> (NS), nano-TiO<sub>2</sub> (NT), and nano-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> (NF) on the fresh properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure of cement mortar containing fly ash as a supplementary cementitious material. These nanoparticles existed...journal article 2020

Šavija, B. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This work aims to understand deformation and fracture processes in blast furnace slag cement pastes made using CEM III/B which is commonly used in the Dutch infrastructure sector. First, based on our previous work on Portland cement pastes, a micromechanical model utilizing nanoindentation and X-ray computed tomography (CT) for input is...journal article 2020

(author), Šavija, B. (author)In this study, the interface between different types of bacteria-embedded self-healing polylactic acid capsules (PLA) and cement paste is investigated. Particularly, the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties of the interface with respect to bulk cement paste were studied. First, nanoindentation was performed to obtain maps of...journal article 2020

Nedeljković, Marija (author), Šavija, B. (author), Zuo, Y. (author), Lukovic, M. (author), Ye, G. (author)The aim of this paper was to investigate the effect of natural carbonation on the pore structure, and elastic modulus (E<sub>m</sub>) of alkali-activated fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) pastes after one year of exposure in the natural laboratory conditions. The chemical changes due to carbonation were examined by...journal article 2018

Šavija, B. (author), Zhang, H. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)Excessive cracking can be a serious durability problem for reinforced concrete structures. In recent years, addition of microencapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) to concrete has been proposed as a possible solution to crack formation related to temperature gradients. However, the addition of PCM microcapsules to cementitious materials...journal article 2017
