Investigating the ball-milled calcined coal gangue on the hydration of limestone blended cement

Lei Xu

Calcined coal gangue (CCG) exhibits promising application potential in limestone-cement binary binders. However, the activity of CCG would possibly be weakened due to the particle agglomeration after calcination. In the present research, we tried to overco ...

The Influence of Micro- and Macrocracks on the Permeability of Granite

Marie Estelle Solange Violay

Damage zones exist around crustal faults, where micro- and macrocracks coexist and form a complex conduit network for fluid flow. The permeability of these zones can change rapidly as the crack network evolves during deformation. To investigate the relativ ...
