Microencapsulation of Cement Admixtures using Cenospheres
­ The Problem: Portland cement-based concrete (PCC) is the most widely used construction material. In the manufacturing of PCC, admixtures are added into concrete to enhance the properties of fresh or hardened concrete. However, undesired interactions between admixtures and the hydration of cement may exist which limit the effects of the admixtures,...

Strength Enhancing Concrete Using CO2
­ The Problem: Concrete with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the main binder is the most widely used construction material in the world. However, the concrete industry has a huge impact on the environment. The production of OPC is highly energy-intensive and responsible for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions. This is an unsustainable...

Low-Cost, Eco-Friendly Treatment of Reinforcements to Improve the Interface Transition Zone in Concretes
­ The Problem: Concrete consists of a cement paste matrix and various reinforcements. An interface transition zone (ITZ) exists between the cement paste and the reinforcement, which can greatly affect the strength and durability of the concrete. Currently, the Sol-gel method is used to produce nano silica coating on reinforcements, however, this...

Bio-Concrete: Renewable Natural Admixtures for Cement
THE PROBLEM Concrete is the most used artificial material in the world, with about 10 billion tons being produced each year. Unfortunately, its popularity comes with the significant environmental cost of producing approximately 8% of all carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. As more focus is placed on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and aligning with...
