Study on Strength Characteristics of Pervious Concrete Using Mineral Admixtures

Performance of Pozzolanic Concrete Using Different Mineral Admixtures

Concrete is probably the most extensively used construction material in the world. However, environmental concerns regarding rapid consumption of natural resources and CO2 emission during cement manufacturing process have brought pressure to reduce cement consumption by the use of cement replacement materials (CRMs). The utilization of calcined clay (metakaolin) and silica fume in concrete has ...

Use of Mineral Admixtures in Concrete

Prediction of Pervious Concrete Permeability and Compressive Strength Using Artificial Neural Networks

Pervious concrete is a concrete mixture prepared from cement, aggregates, water, little or no fines, and in some cases admixtures. The hydrological property of pervious concrete is the primary reason for its reappearance in construction. Much research has been conducted on plain concrete, but little attention has been paid to porous concrete, particularly to the analytical prediction modeling o...

Mechanical Characteristics of Hardened Concrete with Different Mineral Admixtures: A Review

The available literature identifies that the addition of mineral admixture as partial replacement of cement improves the microstructure of the concrete (i.e., porosity and pore size distribution) as well as increasing the mechanical characteristics such as drying shrinkage and creep, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity; however, no single documen...

Production of High Performance Concrete Using Admixtures

In this study, it is aimed that production of high performance concrete using admixtures. The admixture is used to resist against to freezing of concrete, and concrete (C20) is produced, and cured in water. 8 samples are tested in pressure, and mean stress is determined as 28 MPa. Remaining two samples are tested with image processing technique, and determined that sample which containing an ad...
