Boudouan, Youssra (author)After water, concrete is the most used substance on the planet. Approximately three tonnes of concrete is produced per person annually (Gagg, 2014). Traditionally, large amounts of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) are needed for the production of concrete. The production of OPC is very energy intensive and therefore a major generator of carbon...master thesis 2022

Gonthier, Julien Nicolas (author), Wilson, William (author), Georget, Fabien (author), Scrivener, Karen (author)The incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in cement pastes enables both decreasing CO2 emissions and increasing the concrete durability, notably with a better resistance against chloride ingress and thus retarding the chlorideinduced corrosion of steel rebars. Nevertheless, a better understanding of the chloride fixation...conference paper 2021

Sui, Shiyu (author), Georget, Fabien (author), Jiang, Jinyang (author), Scrivener, Karen (author)Chloride binding is an important factor for chloride transport in cementitious materials, which can fix the chloride on the solid phase and decrease the free chloride content. As an alumina-rich supplementary cementitious material, calcined clay can be applied to improve the binding capacity of the system. While the contribution of calcined clay...conference paper 2021

Chen, Y. (author), He, S. (author), Zhang, Y. (author), Wan, Z. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Schlangen, E. (author)This paper aims to investigate the influences of high Portland cement substitutions (>60 wt%) by low-grade calcined clay (CC) and limestone (LF) on 3D concrete printability, stiffness evolution and early-age hydration. Results show that, with the same dosage of admixtures (superplasticizer and viscosity modifier), increasing LF and CC...journal article 2021

Anandakrishnan, Sundaram (author)In this thesis, we focus on flexible haptic feedback applications which rely on the sensation of touch to display a feedback to the user that establishes a system to user interaction. Piezocomposites made of piezoceramic and polymer phases can be used here due to their high flexibility and piezoelectric properties that enable them to deform...master thesis 2020
