Maximizing the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) in blended cements

Partial replacement of clinker with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is an effective approach to reduce CO2 emissions related to cement production. However, there is a maximum substitution level with SCMs beyond which strength decreases. The und ...

Time-lapse reconstruction of the fracture front from diffracted waves arrivals in laboratory hydraulic fracture experiments

Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Thomas Emmanuel Blum, Dong Liu

4-D acoustic imaging via an array of 32 sources/32 receivers is used to monitor hydraulic fracture (HF) propagating in a 250 mm cubic specimen under a true-triaxial state of stress. We present a method based on the arrivals of diffracted waves to reconstru ...

Visco-elastic behavior of blended cement pastes at early ages

Karen Scrivener, Pietro Lura, Zhangli Hu, Adrien Jean Régis Maurice Hilaire

This study aims at elucidating the visco-elastic behavior of hardening blended cement pastes, focusing on uni-axial basic compressive creep tests at early loading ages. Cement pastes with Portland cement only or blended with quartz or fly ash (both at a su ...

Unravelling chloride transport/microstructure relationships for blended-cement pastes with the mini-migration method

Karen Scrivener, Fabien Jacques Michel Georget, William Wilson

A chloride mini-migration method is proposed to estimate effective diffusion coefficients at the scale of the cement paste and to investigate mechanisms with complementary microstructure analyses on the same material. Blended-cement pastes with a wide rang ...

Effect of sulfate on C-S-H at early age

Karen Scrivener, Arnaud Charles Albert Muller, Elise Marie Jeanne Berodier

The effect of increasing sulfate contents on the hydration of white cement was studied with a multi-technique approach. Quantitative X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed that adding more gypsum in the cement resulted in more ettringite formation. Combining iso ...

Smart Hydrogels for the Augmentation of Bone Regeneration by Endogenous Mesenchymal Progenitor Cell Recruitment

Matthias Lütolf, Vincent Milleret, Aline Roch, Stéphanie Elisabeth Metzger, Philipp Sebastian Lienemann, Martin Ehrbar, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Panagiota Papageorgiou, Queralt Vallmajó Martín, Manuel Koch

The treatment of bone defects with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) requires high doses precluding broad clinical application. Here, a bioengineering approach is presented that strongly improves low-dose BMP-2-based bone regeneration by mob ...

Evolution of microstructural changes in cement paste during environmental drying

Karen Scrivener, Hamed Maraghechi, Wioletta Soja, Fabien Jacques Michel Georget

Exposure of concrete to the atmosphere changes the microstructure of the cement paste. However, knowledge about the alteration of the porosity due to drying is typically not considered in deterioration processes of the hardened cement paste. The purpose of ...

Quantitative approaches to unravel bone marrow adipocyte site-specificity and its implication in hematopoiesis

Josefine Catharina Pedersen Tratwal

Over the last decade, bone marrow (BM) adipose tissue (BMAT) has emerged as a distinct adipose depot with unique metabolic properties and effects both in homeostasis and in the progression of disease. We provide a first comprehensive review of existing an ...

Characterization of interfacial transition zone in concrete prepared with carbonated modeled recycled concrete aggregates

Karen Scrivener

Treatment by accelerated carbonation has been widely studied to enhance the quality of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and hence the performance of new concrete produced with the RCA. This is often ascribed to the densification of RCA. This study invest ...
