• Recent advances in understanding the role of supplementary cementitious materials in concrete (2015, background): “Work on nanoscale additions began with nanosilica and research continues into the effects of these materials [52–60], but work is also being extended to other nano-sized particles, including natural pozzolans and clays [61–63] and other oxides used as fillers or nucleation enhancers [64–66].”
• Effect of nano-silica on the mechanical and transport properties of lightweight concrete (2015, methodology): “Previous literature has well documented that NS can accelerate the hydration of cement or blended cement [10,17,18,21,25,26].”
• Effect of coarse basalt aggregates on the properties of Ultra-high Performance Concrete (UHPC) (2018, background): “Currently, most UHPCs are designed with a high content of powder, which leads to poor economic benefit and low efficiency [13].”
• Development of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC): Towards an efficient utilization of binders and fibres (2015, methodology): “In the previous investigations of the authors, it was demonstrated how to produce UHPFRC with a relatively low binder amount [25–28].”
• Development of an eco-friendly Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) with efficient cement and mineral admixtures uses (2015, methodology): “Additionally, based on the previous experiences and investigations of the authors [40–42,73], by applying this modified Andreasen & Andersen particle packing model, it is possible to produce a dense and homogeneous skeleton of UHPC or UHPFRC with a relatively low binder amount (about 650 kg/m).”
