Conventional concrete mixes produced from naturally occurring aggregates offer benefits in strength, workability, volume stability and permeability, as well a wide range of properties. However, with increasing availability construction waste materials, such demolished broken glass, there is the need to explore feasibility using recycled glass replacement for natural crushed Portland cement conc...

The strength and durability of concrete are the most essential parameters for determining structural performance of any concrete structure. Thus, there has been always a need to develop an appropriate test method to evaluate and identify concrete properties in various structural members. In recent years, several researchers have strived to exploit hyperspectral technology as a non destructive t...

We investigate the effect of steel plate lining at the rear face of the reinforced concrete panel on the ballistic properties using the semi-empirical model. We determine the structure of the two-layered shield that provides the maximum critical velocity for a given area density and depends on the mechanical properties of concrete and characteristics of the reinforcement. It is found that the o...

In the present study, effect of pozzolanic material (Metakaolin and Silica fume) is studied through compressive and Flexural strength in cement concrete. Metakaolin and silica fume area used as cement replacement materials at 5%, 10% and 15% by mass keeping water–cement ratio as 0.42 Compressive and Flexural strength were observed after 7 and 28 days of curing. Silica fume is a by products resu...

To comply with recent international trends and initiatives, and in order to help achieve sustainable development, Korea has established a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction target of 37% (851 million tons) of the business as usual (BAU) rate by 2030. Regarding environmentally-oriented standards such as the IGCC (International Green Construction Code), there are also rising demands for the ...

Abstract: Porous concrete for low-impact development has long been studied the improvement of urban stormwater management. However, porous made using Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) is still lacking, particularly concerning its strength and infiltration rates. Therefore, this paper aimed to design RCA with optimum rate without compromising strength. To fulfill aim, a laboratory study evaluati...

this paper presents theoretical and numerical state-of-the-art information in the field of hygro-thermo-mechanical deformation simulation in structural concrete. the aspects discussed include coupled hygro-thermo-mechanical performance of porous materials including concrete, multi-scale simulation of concrete properties especially the volumetric and structural deformation performance, and the m...
