Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)This paper presents a state-of-the-art review on the application of additive manufacturing (AM) in self-healing cementitious materials. AM has been utilized in self-healing cementitious materials in three ways: (1) concrete with 3D-printed capsules/vasculatures; (2) 3D concrete printing (3DCP) with fibers or supplementary cementitious...journal article 2024

Sources of suspended sediments in salt marsh creeks: Field measurements in China and the NetherlandsSun, J. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Hanssen, J.L.J. (author), Xie, W. (author), Lin, J. (author), Xu, Yuan (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Marsh creeks are perceived as important conduits for transporting water and sediment between mudflats and marshes. In order to advance the understanding of the transport mechanisms in creeks, the source and ultimate sink of sediment which moves between mudflats and marshes through creek channels need further investigation. Therefore, two...journal article 2024

Xie, Weiming (author), Sun, J. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Xu, Fan (author), Wang, Xianye (author), Ji, Hongyu (author), Fan, Yaoshen (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author), He, Qing (author)Coastal tidal flats provide valuable ecosystems, but are highly sensitive to tidal dynamics, sea-level rise, and human activities. Tidal inundation depth and frequency are known to affect tidal flat morphodynamics. However, the causes, processes and extent remain uncertain, particularly given the associated changes in sediment availability. In...journal article 2023

Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Xie, J. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Direct ink writing of cementitious materials can be an alternative way for creating vascular self-healing concrete by intentionally incorporating hollow channels in the cementitious matrix. In this study, a 3D-printable fibre reinforced mortar was first developed. Three groups of specimens were fabricated using direct ink writing, where the...journal article 2023

Zeng, Shangheng (author), Mao, Sanpeng (author), Xu, S. (author), He, Yanheng (author), Yu, Jianying (author)Asphalt fumes released during pavement construction posed a threat to human health and environment. In this study, 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphorophenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) was used as a reactive fumes suppressant to reduce the asphalt fumes emission. The volatilization behavior of DOPO modified asphalt (DOPO-Asphalt) was investigated...journal article 2023

Wan, Z. (author), Xu, Y. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Cracking is one of the main causes for deterioration of concrete structures. Self-healing concrete with 3D-printed vascular networks has excellent potential for autonomous self-healing. This approach is scarcely investigated: no studies have been devoted to the influence of printing parameters on the properties of vascular based self-healing...journal article 2022
