Summary: This study characterizes and analyzes the interface performance between magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) and portland cement concrete (PCC), which is used as a fast-setting material for rapid repair. The elastic modulus of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is measured using nanoindentation technology, and the heterogeneity and stratification in the ITZ are characterized using Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation test. The content of each material composition is explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) experiment. The study also reveals the presence of adhesion-like substances in the cracks, indicating a certain self-healing ability of the polymer-modified magnesium phosphate cement (PMPC). The simulation results suggest that different microstructure analysis methods are needed depending on the hydration stratification of the ITZ.

Summary: The rheological properties of cement mortar are indirectly affected by the air entraining agent (AEA) used to improve fluidity. This study explores how AEA influences the physicochemical mechanism of cement mortar's fluidity. The results show that AEA increases the consistency of cement mortar and changes its rheological parameters in a more complicated manner. The resistance of cement mortar increases with higher AEA dosage. The unique electrochemical response observed in the EIS curve suggests a correlation between resistance, consistency, and rheological parameters that varies with AEA dosage. SEM observations reveal two forms of bubbles introduced by AEA: individual distribution and bubble bridge.

A fracture model with dislocation theory is proposed, and the stress field at the crack tip is represented by Airy stress potential function and Fourier Transform. Nanoindentation experiments are conducted to obtain the elastic moduli of the ITZs, and finite element analysis (FEA) confirms the weakest position in the repair interface. A two-dimensional model is developed to validate the fracture model, and simulation results show good agreement with the theoretical solution.

Summary: This paper studies the cracking control effect of a macro-nano multiscale cracking prevention system formed by using natural green sisal fiber and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) instead of steel fiber. The results show that sisal fiber with 0.4% volume content has the same improvement on early-age cracking of concrete as steel fiber with 1% volume content. Using sisal fiber instead of steel fiber can significantly improve cracking resistance, reduce cost and weight, and protect the environment. Sisal fiber and nanofibrillated cellulose also play a good role in delaying and controlling cracking development of concrete.

Summary: This study analyzes the erosion mechanisms of NaCl solution on asphalt concrete and finds that NaCl solution softens asphalt and promotes the intrusion of crystalline salt into it. Salt crystallization alters the surface roughness of aggregates, resulting in a decrease in skid resistance but an improvement in compressive strength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl solution initially has no significant impact on the mechanical performance of asphalt concrete, but its domination gradually increases with the intensification of cyclic effects.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the tensile behavior of cracked ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The results show that long-term freezing and thawing action deteriorates the cracking strength, tensile strength, tensile strain, and strain energy of cracked UHPC. On the other hand, the action of water generally favors the development of tensile properties of UHPC. The crack distribution tends to be unsaturated under freezing and thawing environment, and the re-hydration reaction is hindered. The pore structure near the crack varies under different environments.
