Abstract
This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. Following receipt of whistle-blower complaints, an investigation of this and related papers was conducted. The Editor-in-Chief no longer has confidence in the scientific integrity of this paper as similar images have been used in various articles in multiple journals claiming varying conditions, which violates our publishing policies. The XRD spectra reported in Figure 4a in this paper is the same as that reported in Construction and Building Materials, 2020, 257, 119463; Construction and Building Materials, 2019, 204, pp. 809–827; Journal of Cleaner Production, 276, 2020, 124291; Structures, 29, 2021, pp 129-146; Journal of Building Engineering, 36, 2021, 102125; Structures, 25, 2020 pp 72-87; Journal of Building Engineering, 38 102090; Cement and Concrete Composites, 122 104121 and Mechanics of Materials 150 103592 although the chemical composition reported across these papers varies suggesting the materials are different. The SEM metadata in Figures 13a and 13b contain typographical errors while that in 13c and 13d do not, suggesting evidence of data manipulation.
