X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was applied to assess the solubility-limiting phase of Ni in cement and cement minerals. The study reveals the formation Ni and Al containing hydrotalcite-like layered double hydroxides (Ni-Al LDHs) when cement material (a complex mixture of CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3 and SO3) was treated with Ni in artificial cement pore water under highly alkaline conditions (pH = 13.3). This finding indicates that Ni-Al LDHs and not Ni-hydroxides determine the solubility of Ni in cement materials.

With 3D printing technology, fiber-reinforced polymer composites can be printed with radical shapes and properties, resulting in varied mechanical performances. Their high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance are already advantages that make them viable for physical civil infrastructure. It is important to understand these composites' behavior when used in concrete, as their association can impact debonding failures and overall structural performance.

Civil and geotechnical researchers are searching for economical alternatives to replace traditional soil stabilizers such as cement, which have negative impacts on the environment. Chitosan biopolymer has shown its capacity to efficiently minimize soil erosion, reduce hydraulic conductivity, and adsorb heavy metals in soil that is contaminated. This research used unconfined compression strength (UCS) to investigate the impact of chitosan content, long-term strength assessment, acid concentration, and temperature on the improvement of soil strength.

: Classical reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) with a high neck-shaft angle (NSA) of 155° has shown satisfactory outcomes. However, newer RSA designs aim to improve results by modifying the stem design. This study evaluates the 5-year outcomes of a stem design featuring a rectangular metadiaphyseal fixation and a 135° NSA.
