The aim of this research is to estimate the effect pozzolanic substitutes on temperature generated by hydration and final strength concrete. Differential thermal analyses (DTA) were conducted. Ternary cementitious systems with different ratios Portland cement, silica fume calcined illite clay investigated. results showed that rates reaction portlandite consumption in fume-blended cement pastes are higher than clay-blended pastes.
Abstract Buildings are energy- and resource-hungry: their construction use account for around 39% of global carbon dioxide emissions; they consume 40% all the energy produced; responsible over 35% EU's total waste generation; about 50% extracted (fossil) materials. Therefore, present a significant challenge to meeting national international Net Zero targets reducing greenhouse emissions fossil resource use. The CircularB Project, is at heart this issue, which will underpin synergies...
This study investigates the fresh state and hardened mechanical durability properties of 3D-printed concrete. The tests focused on its anisotropic behavior in response to different load orientations. Compressive, flexural, splitting tensile strengths were evaluated relative print layers orientation. Results showed that compressive strength varied significantly, achieving 85% cast sample when was applied parallel ([u] direction), 71% perpendicular object’s side plane ([v] while only reaching...
Management of coal combustion products (CCPs) has created a challenge for utilities and regulators. In many countries CCPs are classified as hazardous substances usage them is limited. From the other hand, have chemical physical properties that make suitable beneficial use in engineering construction applications. Usage concrete industry also helps to reduce energy demand well CO2 emissions, example, every ton cement which replaced by production results decrease emission amount 0.7–1.2 tons....
Development and commercialization of self-healing concrete is hampered due to a lack standardized test methods. Six inter-laboratory testing programs are being executed by the EU COST action SARCOS, each focusing on methods for specific technique. This paper reports comparison tests mortar specimens with polyurethane encapsulated in glass macrocapsules. First, pre-cracking method was analysed: were cracked three-point bending followed an active crack width control technique restrain up...
Novel mycelium-based biocomposites (MBB) were obtained from local agricultural (hemp shives) and forestry (wood chips) by-products which bounded together with natural growth of fungal mycelium. As a result, hemp mycoc... | Find, read cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions associated with Portland cement (PC) production is ranked as the highest among construction materials and it estimated that 8% of worlds CO2 discharges due to PC production. As an average, clinker including calcination process generates 0.81 kg carbon per one cement. Hence, new approaches which limit negative environmental impacts are aimed at development advanced methodologies introduced. Implementation lower energy consumption in production, could moderately...
Abstract Over the last decade, research has increasingly focused on reducing use of natural resources and improving waste management in construction industry. Various possibilities exist for this sector, ranging from using as filler materials to developing new binders building materials. This study focuses development bio-based manufacturing wood-wool cement boards. The binder were obtained used research. developed tested their visual appearance, macrostructure, material density, thermal...
The concrete industry is eagerly pursuing the economic advantages of and improvement its long-term properties. One most effective approaches to improve properties associated with replacing part Portland cement pozzolanic additives. Although commercial pozzolans like silica fume have proven be effective, they come at a high cost. Therefore, modern construction researching pozzolan alternatives. These new could as by-products from different industries, usually accompanied by low-prices, but...
Self-healing concrete has the potential to optimise traditional design approaches; however, commercial uptake requires ability harmonize against standardized frameworks. Within EU SARCOS COST Action, different interlaboratory tests were executed on self-healing techniques. This paper reports evaluation of effectiveness proposed experimental methodologies suited for with expansive mineral additions. Concrete prisms and discs MgO-based healing agents produced precracked. Water absorption water...
The waste amount coming from construction and demolition (CDW) has significant volume potential to provide the backbone of a secondary material bank. Up now, little attention is paid gypsum recycling CDW while shift in global attitude toward management brings motivation use as raw material. present research investigates properties binder obtained materials originating CDW. Three types drywall boards cast monolithic interior walls, treated laboratory, was obtained. Comparison been studied...
Up to now, primary resources have been the main choice of raw material selection for production. Now, global market tendencies brought significant attention secondary as price has raised materials, and there is a shortage their delivery. This could bring an additional effort increase recycling level construction demolition waste, including expanded polystyrene (EPS). Efforts made develop new efficient building materials with high content recycled EPS. In this paper, composite insulation...
