Chang, Z. (author), Liang, M. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Cementitious materials may exhibit significant creep at very early age. This is potentially important for concrete 3D printing, where the material is progressively loaded even before it sets. However, does creep actually affect the buildability of 3D printed concrete? Herein, the influence of early-age creep on the buildability of 3D printed...journal article 2023

Liu, C. (author), Liang, X. (author), Chen, Y. (author), Li, Z. (author), Ye, G. (author)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...journal article 2023
