Modeling the Thermoelastic Bending of Ferric Oxide (Fe₂O₃) Nanoparticles-Enhanced RC Slabs by Zouaoui R. Harrat, Mohammed Chatbi, Baghdad Krour, Marijana Hadzima-Nyarko, Dorin Radu, Sofiane Amziane, Mohamed Bachir Bouiadjra

“…Nanoparticles, by virtue of their amorphous nature and high specific surface area, exhibit ideal pozzolanic activity which leads to the formation of additional C-S-H gel by reacting with calcium hydroxide, resulting in a denser matrix. The proportions of ferric oxide (Fe₂O₃), silicon dioxide (SiO₂), and aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) in the clay, which interact chemically with the calcium oxide (CaO) during the clinkering reactions, influence the final properties of the cement and, therefore, of the concrete. …”

Effects of nanomaterials on high performance concrete mortars exposed to elevated temperatures by Farzadnia, Nima

“…Nonetheless, some studies have mentioned the positive effect of mineral admixtures at elevated temperatures due to the formation of stronger clusters of calcium silicate hydrate and restriction in crystal growth of calcium hydroxide. This study investigated the behavior of high performance concrete mortars with nanomaterials at elevated temperatures to simulate the behavior of binding ma- trix exposed to heat in order to increase the heat resistant behavior of the binding matrix with a focus on temperatures below 400 C. …”

Properties of palm oil fuel ash cement based aerated concrete by Mutusamy, Khairunisa

“…A constant presence of moisture is significant for the strength development of POFA aerated concrete since pozzolanic reaction can only take place at the later age, after calcium hydroxide is available from the hydration. Utilization of POFA in aerated concrete improves the durability of the lightweight concrete when exposed to aggressive environment, such as acid, sulphate and sea water. …”
