Assesment of Alkali Resistance of Basalt Used as Concrete Aggregates

Performance of High-strength Concrete Made with Recycled Ceramic Aggregates

Recent scientific concerns to achieve sustainability in construction have suggested the implementation of using recycled aggregate in concrete because it has the potential to reduce the demand for extraction of natural raw materials and decrease the volume of wastes landfilled. In this respect, this study aims to investigate the suitability of using ceramic tile (CT) and ceramic sanitary (CS) w...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Research on Concrete Aggregates

Portland cement concrete has been used extensively for many years as a construction material in bridges, buildings, highway pavements and other structures. Numerous structures and pavements that have been in service for decades illustrate the good durability and value of con­ crete when properly used in engineering construction. For example, the first concrete pavement built in the United State...
