The dataset presented in this paper comprises compressive strength test results for PO42.5 Portland cement mixed with mine water containing sulfate, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions. The tests are designed to systematically assess the impacts of these ions, both individually and in combination, on the long-term mechanical properties of PO42.5 Portland cement. Furthermore, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were conducted to investigate the microstructural characteristics of the cement-based materials under varying ionic influences. This dataset offers significant insights into the compressive strength development of cementitious materials in environments with sulfate, magnesium, and bicarbonate ion exposure.

Foamed concrete (FC) is a lightweight cementitious material made by adding a stable pre-formed foam to a cement paste or mortar to make a homogenized mixture of a controlled low density. The present work aims at evaluating the effect Scrap Aluminum Engine Residue (SAER) has on fresh, mechanical, thermal, and microstructural properties of FC with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.4 at targeted densities of 900 kg/m (FC-900) and 1100 kg/m (FC-1100).

The increasing demand for sustainable construction materials has driven research into the reuse of plastic waste for renewable building applications. This study introduces a new lightweight insulating mortar for floor and roof systems, utilizing recycled rigid polyurethane (PU) foam as the primary aggregate. The binder mainly consists of Portland cement, with no added sand, and includes minor additives to enhance mechanical, physical, and thermal properties.

Geopolymer concrete uses a geopolymer binder instead of traditional Portland cement; thus, it reduces carbon emissions by a significant amount. In this study, Edge-Oxidized Graphene Oxide (EOGO), a carbon-based nanomaterial, was added into a metakaolin-based geopolymer, and its effect on the mechanical and rheological properties of the mixture was investigated. EOGO was added into the mixture at 0% (control), 0.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with high thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity are frequently considered as ideal nano-reinforced materials for the future. This paper investigated the potential application of MWCNTs in ordinary Portland cement-sulfoaluminate cement (OPC-SAC) repair mortar by analyzing mechanical and microstructural changes caused by MWCNTs. The test results revealed that MWCNTs greatly increased the strength of OPC-SAC binary repair mortar in the early days, and promoted sustained growth of long-term strength.

Geopolymers are an environmentally sustainable class of low-calcium alkali-activated materials (AAMs), distinct from high-calcium C-A-S-H gel systems. Synthesized from aluminosilicate-rich precursors such as fly ash, metakaolin, slag, waste glass, and coal gasification fly ash (CGFA), geopolymers offer a significantly lower carbon footprint, valorize industrial by-products, and demonstrate superior durability in aggressive environments compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC). Recent advances in thermodynamic modeling and phase chemistry, particularly in CaO-SiO-AlO systems, are improving precursor selection and mix design optimization, while Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and hybrid ML-thermodynamic approaches show promise for predictive performance assessment.
