    Durability
    Oral Presentation

    This study presents long-term durability findings for various rapid repair concrete systems subjected to over a decade of outdoor exposure in diverse environmental conditions. The systems evaluated include Calcium Aluminate Cement (CAC), blended CAC–Portland cement systems, and Calcium Sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, benchmarked against conventional Portland cement concrete. Key durability...

    Durability
    Oral Presentation

    The durability of calcium aluminate cement in aggressive environments is considered one of its competitive advantages. A property that is attracting additional attention in concrete research today is resistance to carbonation, as cement-based materials play a role as carbon sinks in the carbon neutrality strategy. Previous studies have shown that CAC concrete has a faster carbonation rate...

    Durability
    Oral Presentation

    The long-term performance of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) in cold environments depends critically on its resistance to freeze–thaw (F–T) cycles. This study evaluates the microstructural evolution and damage mechanisms in CAC mortars exposed to repeated F–T cycling. A combined analytical approach was applied to assess both phase changes and internal degradation.

  4. 19. Deep-sea Performance of High-alumina Calcium Aluminate Cement: Durability under 1000-2000 m In-situ Exposure
    Prof. Keisuke Takahashi (Kagawa University)
    11/06/2026, 11:50
    Durability
    Oral Presentation

    The advancement of deep-sea technologies, including subsea carbon storage, offshore wind energy, and seabed resource extraction, requires durable cementitious materials capable of supporting infrastructure exposed to extreme environmental stressors. This study investigates the durability and physicochemical stability of high-alumina calcium aluminate cement (AC) pastes under in-situ deep-sea...
