Structural Performance Characteristics of Nanomaterials and Its Application in Traditional Architectural Cultural Design and Landscape Planning by Chaohai Ou, DeWei Wang

“…The experimental results prove that the foaming ability of nanomaterials is much better than that of ordinary materials, and the fault tolerance rate of the cement paste is also the highest. This can also positively show that the relationship between nanotechnology and construction engineering is getting closer and closer, and the combination of nanomaterials and construction materials shows people the broad prospects of construction materials for the development of ecological construction materials that improve the living environment and improve the quality of life.…”

Analysis of the bond-slip performance of steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete based on the constitutive relationship model by Xia Zhengbing, Duan Xiaofang

“…In order to promote the application of steel fiber recycled concrete in road and bridge construction, 25 groups of steel fiber recycled concrete with different mix proportions were designed, taking the replacement rate of recycled aggregates and the volume fraction of steel fibers as experimental parameters, and 77 steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete bonded specimens were made and pasted with strain gauges for the pull-out test. The research results showed that the greater the replacement rate of recycled aggregates was, the lower the bond strength between steel bars and steel fiber recycled concrete was; in the range of 0~1.2%, the higher the mixing amount of steel fibers was, the greater the bond strength of the specimen was; in the range of 0~1.6%, the higher the mixing amount of steel fibers was, the greater the slip value of the specimen under the peak load was; the addition of steel fibers improved the failure behavior of the recycled concrete pull-out specimens; the test specimens mainly had pull-out failure when the mixing amount of steel fibers was 1.2% and 1.6%. …”

A Comparative Study of Metakaolin and Silica Fume on the Properties and Microstructure of Ultrafine Dredged Sand Mortars by Changpei Qin, Junxian Zhao, Yixuan Wang, Yongqi Zou, Fares Ali Al Sairafia, Chaohua Jiang

“…Moreover, a microstructural investigation based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) confirms that the physical filling and pozzolanic effects of MK and SF can optimize the microstructure of the slurry, improve the interfacial combination of different phases, and refine the pore size distribution of cement paste. The test results prove that high-content FA ternary cementitious systems containing MK or SF represent a sustainable solution to the resource utilization of building materials based on ultrafine dredged sand.…”
