Gao, P. (author), Wei, J.X. (author), Yu, Q.J. (author)Chemical shrinkage is one of the main reasons leading to the early age deformation of concrete. Hence, the prediction of chemical shrinkage is an important issue for evaluating the deformation of concrete and its influence on the durability of concrete structures. There is still room to improve the accuracy for predicting the chemical shrinkage...conference paper 2021

Tian, Cong (author), Wei, Xiaosheng (author)An improved method based on the ring test called eccentric ring test is used to study the cracking of cementitious materials. The water-cement ratios were 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, 0.4 and the aggregate mass fractions were 10%, 30%, 50%, respectively. It was found that with the increase of water-cement ratio and aggregate, the cracking time of the...conference paper 2021

Wei, L. (author), Zietzschmann, F.E. (author), Rietveld, L.C. (author), van Halem, D. (author)Millions of people worldwide are exposed to excessive concentrations of fluoride (F<sup>−</sup>) from groundwater sources. Ca-Al-CO<sub>3</sub> layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have shown promising defluoridation efficiency; however, defluoridation by Ca-Al-CO<sub>3</sub> LDHs is highly pH sensitive. This study showed that simultaneous...journal article 2021
