Self compacting concrete (SCC) is a very fluid concrete that is characterized by its high volume of paste, and the use of superplasticizer. The effects of recycled aggreg [...]

This paper reports on an experimental program investigating the durability and mechanical properties of alkali activated slag concrete (AASC). The AASC was prepared using [...]

Ancient mortars have proved to be durable and reliable materials even when submitted to severe conditions of salts and high humidity. This study intends to contribute to [...]

This article deals with the use of the resonance method for detection and inspection of defects in inhomogeneous isotropous materials having properties depending on tempe [...]

Due to incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions during clinker production more and more of the clinker fraction of cement is being replaced with supplementary cement [...]

There has been no such engineering method until now to enable water curing in the vertical plane of surface concrete after the removal of concrete form.The Aqua curtain h [...]

Self-compacting concretes are special concretes, highly flowable, which can flow into place under their own weight and compacted without any external vibration. In additi [...]

The main results of a large research project undertaken in order to validate the composition of new ternary cements containing Portland clinker, limestone filler and slag [...]

The Public Works Research Institute has initiated a collaborative research project with the goal of developing a guideline for effective use of supplementary cementing ma [...]

The properties of concrete with high amount of the mineral admixtures with a few carbon footprint other than cement were showed. The experiment examines the influence tha [...]

There are many ways to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete including reduction in its Portland cement clinker content by methods including: (a) optimization of total [...]
