For high durability and strength, decreasing of the water to binder ratio of cement is needed by using of fly ash, blast furnace slag as mineral admixture. And it is poin [...]

Recently, blended cement is needed in order to lower the energy consumption and CO 2 emission from cement industries. On the other hand, waste management and environmenta [...]

Cracking behavior of lime mortar renders subjected to shrinkage is numerically investigated by the finite element method (FEM). The render materials selected for the stud [...]

This paper reports the effect of bacterial calcium carbonate precipitation on sorption of engineered cementitious composites (ECC), a high performance fiber-reinforced ce [...]

In the fiber reinforced inorganic polymer (FRiP) strengthening system, an inorganic paste is used instead of an organic resin as the matrix and adhesives of fiber sheets. [...]

For high fluidity concrete beams with medium-quality recycled coarse aggregate and melt-solidified slag aggregate, we investigated the fresh concrete properties and the b [...]

In this paper some production processes and possibilities of alkaline activation of fly ash are examined. This fly ash is used as a binder in new type of concrete without [...]

In Japan, coal-fired power is one of the main electric powers along with atomic power and natural gas -fired power. The annual amount of coal used for coal-fired power ge [...]

This paper is devoted to a FEM numerical simulation of bond-slip behavior between epoxy coated plain steel bars and concrete. In this case the cured epoxy coating is assu [...]

In order to reduce the amount of CO2 gas in cement industry, the use of blended cement is valid. Share of blended cement in Japan, has not changed over last 10 years. One [...]

It is currently widely accepted that lime, rather than Portland cement (PC), should be used for the repair of historic fabrics as most historic mortars were lime based an [...]

In this study, optimum combinations of the replacement ratios of fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag (BS) with cement were examined from the aspect of p [...]

The study aims at using Shirasu, which is a pyroclastic flow deposit like volcanic ash, as one of the binders in mortar or concrete. It is one of the unused natural resou [...]

It is a fact well known that the active additions improves the mechanical as well as de durability of concrete structures. Usually the materials are tested in laboratory [...]

It is well established that most construction materials behave differently under static and dynamic loading. The stress-rate sensitivity of concrete, steel and rock has b [...]

This study investigates performance of slag as an alternative cementitious binder against ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash (FA) and palm oil fuel ash (POFA). To ac [...]

The development of innovative eco-efficient cementitious materials is, nowadays, a wide-spread concern to assure the sustainability of the built environment. In this scop [...]

Low calcium fly ash-based geopolymer (LCFG) concrete binder, which results from the reaction of a source material rich in silica & alumina (low calcium fly ash) and a [...]

The major environmental impact of concrete is caused by CO2-emissions during the cement production. Great potential for the reduction of the global warming potential and [...]

In this paper, effect of cement type and expansive additive content on resistance to both drying shrinkage cracking and thermal cracking of concrete using fly ash and gro [...]

Porous ceramic aggregate produced from roof tile waste was used as an internal curing agent. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the porous ceramic aggr [...]

In order to reduce environmental loading, it is important to propose the way for the usage of large particles of Fly Ash. In this research, relationship between packing f [...]

The present paper is directed towards development of statistical models for the evaluation of efficiency factors of fly ash so that its contribution on concrete strength [...]

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 [...]

This paper reports the potential reuse of incineration fly ash (IFA) as cement supplements in the production of engineered cementitious composites (ECC), a unique class o [...]

An experimental investigation was conducted to study both the mechanical and durability performance of various specimens constructed with both high-volume fly ash concret [...]

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the shear strength of full-scale beams constructed with both high-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) – concrete with a [...]

This study investigated the performance of two high-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC) mixes with 70% replacement of Portland cement with a Class C fly ash (with one mix hav [...]
