Sun, Beibei (author), Ye, Guang (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Alkali-activated materials(AAM) are known to be environmentally friendly alternatives to cement-based materials because they can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reutilize industrial by-products. However, the application of AAM is still limited by the lack of mixture design regulation. Unlike cement, the very different chemical...conference paper 2021

Qiu, Xiujiao (author), Chen, Jiayi (author), Ye, Guang (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)ASR (alkali-silica reaction) is one of the toughest durability problems in engineering. However, the damage induced by ASR is still fairly unpredictable due to the lack of microstructural information of cement-based materials affected by ASR, while the microstructure determines the global performance. In order to fill this gap, a multiscale...conference paper 2021

Yang, Kai (author), Ye, Guang (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Water molecules exist as two spin isomers, differing by the relative orientation of the nuclear spins of the two hydrogen atoms: either antiparallel (para-water, S=0) or parallel (ortho-water, S=1) [1]. The transition between these nuclear spin states can be achieved through magnetic symmetry breaking via a field gradient across the spins...conference paper 2021
