Gao, Jian (author), Jin, Peng (author), Zhang, Yuze (author), Dong, H. (author), Wang, Ruixing (author)Due to low activity or long mineralization time, traditional mineral agents for self-healing concrete generally need a long time to achieve a desired repair efficiency. Inspired by epoxy resin AB glue which can consolidate in a short time when mixing the two components together, a novel type of fast-responsive capsules based on two soluble...journal article 2022

Dong, H. (author), Yao, X. (author), Burgmann, S. (author), Ye, G. (author)Each year a large amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is generated in the European Union. For sustainability development the CDW is recycled and re-used. To promote the use of CDW, recycled aggregates from CDW were incorporated in alkali-activated concrete (AAC), which mainly consisted of secondary materials or industrial by...conference paper 2021

Li, Z. (author), Wyrzykowski, Mateusz (author), Dong, H. (author), Zhang, Shizhe (author), Lura, Pietro (author), Ye, G. (author)Alkali activated slag (AAS) has shown promising potential to replace ordinary Portland cement as a binder material. Synthesized from industrial by-products, AAS can show high strength, thermal resistance and good durability. However, AAS has been reported to exhibit high autogenous shrinkage. Autogenous shrinkage is a critical issue for building...conference paper 2021

Liang, X. (author), Dong, H. (author), Li, Z. (author), van Zijl, Marc Brito (author), Ye, G. (author)This paper investigated the feasibility of using biomass fly ash (BFA) to prepare alkaliactivated slag and fly ash paste. The reference mixture was alkali-activated slag and coal fly ash (CFA) paste with a slag-to-coal fly ash ratio of 50/50. In other mixtures, coal fly ash was replaced at 40% and 100% with BFA, respectively. The results showed...conference paper 2021

Zhang, H. (author), Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), Dong, H. (author), Gan, Y. (author), Schlangen, E. (author), Šavija, B. (author)Carbonation of hydrated cement paste (HCP) causes numerous chemo-mechanical changes in the microstructure, e.g., porosity, strength, elastic modulus, and permeability, which have a significant influence on the durability of concrete structures. Due to its complexity, much is still not understood about the process of carbonation of HCP. The...journal article 2020

Li, Z. (author), Lu, T. (author), Liang, X. (author), Dong, H. (author), Ye, G. (author)This study aims to provide a better understanding of the autogenous shrinkage of slag and fly ash-based alkali-activated materials (AAMs) cured at ambient temperature. The main reaction products in AAMs pastes are C-A-S-H type gel and the reaction rate decreases when slag is partially replaced by fly ash. Due to the chemical shrinkage and the...journal article 2020

(author)In this study, internal curing by superabsorbent polymers (SAP) is utilized to mitigate self-desiccation and autogenous shrinkage of alkali-activated slag (AAS) pastes. Absorption and desorption kinetics of SAP incorporated in AAS pastes were studied with X-ray tomography. Internal curing delayed the peak of the rate of heat liberation but...journal article 2020

Dong, H. (author), Ye, G. (author)Chloride-induced corrosion is a critical issue for RC structures. Cement-based coatings can be used to protect concrete structures with unsatisfactory quality against chloride ingress. To evaluate the effectiveness of the coatings to extend the service life of coated concrete structures, the evolution of the chloride profile in the coated...journal article 2019

Dong, H. (author), Gao, P. (author), Ye, G. (author)Drying of cement-based overlay systems is a critical issue, because it causes differential shrinkage between the overlay material and the concrete substrate and may induce cracking or debonding of the overlay material. In this paper the mechanisms of moisture transport in hydrating cement-based overlay systems are studied. A model is proposed...journal article 2019

Dong, H. (author)Concrete is currently the most widely used material in construction field. A good performance of concrete structures is required for reaching the designed service life. However, the initial scatter in the quality of concrete is unavoidable in practice, possibly resulting from improper design, poor execution, or deterioration due to stresses...doctoral thesis 2018
