Abstract:
The addition of cellulose nanomaterials to cementitious materials has been shown to alter rheology, setting times, degree of hydration, and mechanical properties The article discusses implementation of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in three full-scale concrete placements (parking lot, bridge girder, and slab-on-ground) to examine the potential of using CNCs in the field.
