Why is the Rheological Analysis of Cements Important?

Why is the Rheological Analysis of Cements Important?

Rheological concepts and methods used in concrete incorporate the deformation of hardened cement paste, the handling and placement of newly mixed concrete, and the characteristics of its component elements, particularly concrete and slurries.

Analysis of the Effect of Vegetation Coverage on Urban Energy Consumption

Analysis of the Effect of Vegetation Coverage on Urban Energy Consumption

The most intuitive spatial aspect of urbanization is that man-made space replaces natural space, resulting in an urban heat island that threatens human thermal comfort, health, and energy usage. Several investigations have examined the impact of urban vegetation coverage on the thermal environment, but the issue of how that impact will affect urban energy consumption needs has been overlooked.

Improving the Thermal Insulation Properties and Toughness of Concrete

Improving the Thermal Insulation Properties and Toughness of Concrete

The inclusion of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber in concrete improves its toughness significantly, according to previous research. The mechanical and thermal performance of polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cement composites (GPCC) were examined in a recent study in the journal Buildings. This study lays the groundwork for future research into the use of GPCC and proposes a mixed proportion that is optimal.

Testing the Durability of Seawater Sea-Sand Concrete

Testing the Durability of Seawater Sea-Sand Concrete

The use of recycled materials and seawater sea-sand concrete (SSC) in building has increased in recent decades due to a scarcity of raw materials. Because seawater and sea sand are plentiful marine resources, they have social, economic, and environmental advantages. This is discussed in research in the journal Buildings.

The Sustainable Utilization of Wood in Construction

The Sustainable Utilization of Wood in Construction

Analysts have calculated that utilizing wood in 80% of new residential building projects in Europe alone would absorb 55 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2). This would effectively halve the CO2 annual emissions caused by the construction industry in Europe.
