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 [...]

Natural or Roman cements were the first modern cements to be industrially produced at the beginning of the 19th century in Europe. Used equally by engineers for their hyd [...]

The widespread adoption of alternative binders are playing an increasing role in carbon dioxide (CO 2) abatement in green construction and the repair of traditionally bui [...]

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 [...]

This study aims to clarify the amount of CO2 fixation in demolished concrete under different exposure conditions, and in addition, it aims at computing the LCCO2 (Life Cy [...]

Lime-pozzolan mortars are often used for the restoration of historical buildings. Several studies have been developed in regards to the use of waste in construction mater [...]
