Abstract Induction furnace slag (IFS) and quarry dust (QD) were reported as good materials in making ordinary concrete. Studies not done on utilizing IFS QD constituents of high-performance-self-compacting-concrete (HPSCC). This study aims at assessing the effects induction strength durability high-performance self-compacting Strength tests including compressive, flexural, split tensile, reboun...

Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer (RH) tests are often used for assessing the quality of concrete and estimation of its compressive strength. Several parameters influence the property of concrete, such as the type and size of aggregates, cement content and the implementation of concrete. To account for these factors, both of the two tests are combined and their measurements are...

It is essential to understand the consumption pattern of food and how it changes over time to formulate sound economic policies as well as marketing and pricing strategies. In this study, we estimate the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System with six rounds of the Family Income Expenditure Survey exploiting the conditional linearity of the demand system. We find that the Filipino diet has become...

This paper deals with the possibility of using Schmidt hardness test, which does not require much preliminary preparation and is easy to perform, in production commercial blocks a quarry. Previous recommendations for testing rock materials were specifically related tests performed geomechanical purposes. They also referred mostly smaller samples, but has some special features, mainly because th...
