The Acceleration of Hardening of Non-autoclaved Foam Concrete with the Mechano-Activated Binder When Constructing in the Arctic and Cold Regions

Peculiarities of protection of railroad tracks from snow drifts in the arctic zone

“…As for the wide earth bed, for example, at split points, it is impossible to ensure unobstructed passage of the snow and wind flow [13]. In this case, it is reasonable to develop a new direction of snow protection-snow guiding.…”

A Review of the Mechanical Properties and Durability of Ecological Concretes in a Cold Climate in Comparison to Standard Ordinary Portland Cement-Based Concrete

“…Another approach to accelerate the hydration is to introduce "mechano-chemical activated binders", for instance, a finely ground slag and recycled white cement mixture with OPC, elevates the maximum hydration rate and strength development in a shorter period of time and is therefore subsequently used in winter construction [123]. This is attributed to the activated slag enhancing the surface area and the alkaline medium by the presence of silicate ions leading to the promotion of the hydration process.…”

Unraveling the molecular freezing behavior of water on a calcium silicate hydrate matrix

“…The service environments of concrete have become increasingly complex and challenging. 3,4 In particular, projects in high latitude arctic, high altitude plateau mountainous areas, [5][6][7][8] and the liquefied natural gas storage tank with concrete as the principal structural material [9][10][11][12] demonstrate the growing use of concrete in low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature settings. The durability of concrete in low-temperature environments is closely related to the freezing and expansion of water.…”
