A significant part of waste generation is caused by the building and construction industry. Reduction therefore a major topic integrated chain management policy Dutch government. Construction companies benefit from reduced lower deposition costs purchasing virgin materials. An overview presented main areas government concerning sustainability. Reducing fits into this policy. Subsequently, an construction-waste data available in literature. Then, during several residential projects has been...
This paper aims to optimize high-volume limestone powder in sustainable ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), and characterize its roles on plasticization effect, hydration kinetics, microstructure hardened properties. The spread flow, products, compressive strength, porosity pore structure, shrinkage, embedded CO2 emission unit cost are investigated with different substitution levels of binders by powder, varying from 0 80 vol%. Results show that replacing high volume is an efficient way...
Silica aerogel features super thermal insulating and excellent sound absorption. Although the application of silica in building materials for energy saving has been investigated recently, role particle size on geopolymer foam render can be crucial but is rarely studied. In this research, four kinds with different sizes (2–40 μm, 100–700 100–1200 700–4000 μm) are applied (GFAR) to improve insulation acoustic absorption performance. Results show that larger particles more beneficial while...
Due to its low hydraulic reactivity, ladle slag is currently underutilized with nearly 80% of annual generation either landfilled or dumped. This work investigates the joint activation LS Class F fly ash, and impact on ash geopolymer focus activation, hydrates assemblage, conversion process, thermal behavior. Results reveal that unique reaction process in alkali system shows a positive influence geopolymers. Within an alkaline rich soluble Si, initially hydrated CAH phases transform into...
This paper addresses the geometric random packing and void fraction of polydisperse particles. It is demonstrated that bimodal can be transformed into a continuous particle-size distribution power law type. follows maximum particles obtained when exponent (distribution modulus) function zero, which to say, cumulative finer logarithmic particle size. For packings composed sieve fractions or discretely sized particles, modulus positive (typically $0<\ensuremath{\alpha}<0.37$). Furthermore, an...
