Supply Chain (Re)Design and Pricing for Biomass Ash Valorization as Supplementary Cementitious Materials by Juan G. Villegas, Germán Álvarez-López, Leyla Y. Jaramillo, Manuel Romero-Sáez

“…However, using biomass ashes as an SCM presents challenges, such as the distant location of crops and processing plants from cement and concrete plants, the absence of a supply chain to connect the biomass ash and cement/concrete producers, and the lack of a mechanism to set the price of the ash. …”

Introducing magnesium oxide into 3D printed concrete to mitigate dry-shrinkage by Abdulkerim Mohammed Aman, Zhe Yang, Yubo Xin, Xiaoman Zhang, Yangbo Li, Dahai Huang, Jing Shen

“…However, 3D printed concrete (3DPC) faces greater shrinkage challenges compared to conventional concrete due to several factors, including the absence of coarse aggregates, a higher proportion of cementitious materials, and the lack of formwork. Magnesium oxide (MgO), known for its water-expanding properties, can be incorporated into the concrete mix to address shrinkage issues, mitigating cracking and promoting a zero-shrinkage outcome for 3DPC. …”
