PC's hardening behavior is primarily governed by cure shrinkage, a rapid process occurring within 8–24 h [118]. Unlike the gradual drying shrinkage in cement concrete, cure shrinkage in PC, such as epoxy-based PC, results from the chemical reaction between epoxy resin and hardener (polymerization shrinkage) [107]. This …
Rapid hardening cement is a special type of cement that achieves high strength in less time. Normally the strength achieved by conventional cements in 7 days is same as the strength achieved in 3 days. This type of cement is also called as High …

We detected a directional formation of the structure and the preset properties of concretes of highly flowing mixtures at both early and late stages of hardening. We established that the early strength of nanomodified concretes increases by 4.8‒5.1 times, and strength after 28 days ‒ by 2.0‒2.3 times.

Most of the currently used concretes are based on ordinary Portland cement (OPC) which results in a high carbon dioxide footprint and thus has a negative environmental impact. Replacing OPCs, partially or fully by ecological binders, i.e., supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) or alternative binders, aims to decrease …
