Item A Comprehensive Review of Plant-Based Biopolymers as Viscosity-Modifying Admixtures in Cement-Based Materials (With Full text)(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-05) Boutouam, Yousra; Hayek, Mahmoud; Bouarab, Kamal; Yahia, AmmarAs the construction industry is facing the challenge of meeting the ever-increasing demand for environmentally friendly and durable concrete, the role of viscosity-modifying admixtures (VMAs) has become increasingly essential to improve the rheological properties, stability, and mechanical properties of concrete. Additionally, natural polymers are ever evolving, offering multiple opportunities for innovative applications and sustainable solutions. This comprehensive review delves into the historical context and classifications of VMAs, accentuating their impact in enhancing the rheological properties, stability, and mechanical properties of concrete. Emphasis is placed on the environmental impact of synthetic VMAs, promoting the exploration of sustainable alternatives derived from plant-based biopolymers. Indeed, biopolymers, such as cellulose, starch, alginate, pectin, and carrageenan are considered in this paper, focusing on understanding their efficacy in improving concrete properties while enhancing the environmental sustainability within the concrete. © 2024 by the authors.Item Hygrothermal and microstructural characterization of self-consolidating earth concrete (SCEC)(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-06-15) Kohandelnia, Mojtaba; Hosseinpoor, Masoud; Yahia, Ammar; Belarbi, RafikItem Multiscale investigation of self-consolidating earthen materials using a novel concrete-equivalent mortar approach(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-03-17) Kohandelnia, Mojtaba; Hosseinpoor, Masoud; Yahia, Ammar; Belarbi, RafikItem New insight on rheology of self-consolidating earth concrete (SCEC)(Powder Technology, 2023-06-15) Kohandelnia, Mojtaba; Hosseinpoor, Masoud; Yahia, Ammar; Belarbi, RafikItem Sustainable Buildings: A Choice, or a Must for Our Future?(MDPI, 2023-03) Khiati, Seif; Belarbi, Rafik; Yahia, AmmarItem Synergistic effects of superplasticizers and biopolymer-based viscosity-modifying admixtures on the rheology of cement-based systems (No Full Text)(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-10) González-Aviña J.V.; Hosseinpoor, Masoud; Yahia, Ammar; Durán-Herrera A.
