1. Introduction. Concrete is a sustainable and versatile construction material which can produce structures that last for thousands of years. Due to the many areas of application, concrete is the second most consumed material on Earth, only after water, with a global production of around 4.1 billion tons of cement in 2021 (Statista, 2023), and an …
researchers by narrowing down the literature search scope. Whilst mathematics learning is posited as a developmental progression in the direction of concrete-to-abstract, various related studies have hitherto been conducted. The findings of the previous studies have been synthesised by conducting meta-analysis and systematic literature
Plain concrete also shows a decline in its density by incorporating low-density synthetic micro-fibers such as polypropylene fiber [8], [95]. In lightweight concrete having a density below 1150 kg/m 3, the increasing percentage of coir did not show any noticeable effect [57]. This is because the difference in the density of lightweight matrix ...

XRF analysis of the ordinary Portland cement and RHA is reproduced in Table1.The mean specific gravity of RHA, sand, and Portland cement was 2.45, 1.74, and 3.11 g/cm 3, respectively.The BET surface area of RHA was found to be 165 m 2 /g. The particle size of RHA was calculated from SEM images (Fig. 1 a as an example) and …
The study also indicated that substitution of more than 10% results in a significant decrease in all concrete strength-related measures. As a result, it was proposed that replacing fine particles with PET fragments may have a positive impact on the strength-related characteristics of concrete samples as long as the substitution ratio is less ...
To achieve this, the compares different related studies which analyse the compressive strength results of RCA mixtures with different RCA replacements, w/c ratio, and mix proportions.
1. Introduction. Concrete is an everyday material; its adaptability and availability have made it of great importance for all construction in the world (Bamigboye et al., Citation 2019).Concrete in volume terms is among the most widely used synthetic materials (Martínez-García et al., Citation 2017; Sojobi et al., Citation 2016).Much …
In order to ensure this, a set of keywords was well-defined. Two main groups of keywords have been used to find the literature related to concrete mix design problems: Group 1: Words related to concrete mix design: "Concrete Mix Design"; "Concrete Mixture"; "Concrete Proportioning".
Concrete Containing Waste Glass as an Environmentally Friendly Aggregate: A Review on Fresh and Mechanical Characteristics ... the literature discussing the use of recycled glass waste in concrete as a partial or complete replacement for aggregates has been reviewed by focusing on the effect of recycled glass waste on the fresh and …
Relative residual strength of concrete as a function of peak temperature for the different times maintained at peak temperature of 1, 3, 5, 6, and 9 h according to [23]-Toumi, [25]-Phan, and 0, 1 ...
Therefore green concrete can be in various types; such as concrete with partial to total replacement of OPC as a binder, or/and concrete incorporating waste …
The concrete samples were cast using 150mm x 150mm x 150mm mould, and the target strength was M20. The Compressive Strength of M20 (0% RHA) concrete at 3, 7 and 28 days are 14.50, 20.50 and 30.3 respectively. Whereas on replacing cement with 20% of RHA it comes out to be 13.40, 21.60 and 30.70 respectively.
The literature reviewed revealed that conventional concrete can reach higher values of albedo than PC, as a result of the lower presence of voids in the mixture. The highest albedo found in the literature for PC pavements was 0.29, corresponding to a mixture with 17% of air voids, white cement and a nominal maximum aggregate size of …
The compressive strength of concrete for 5% and 10% BLA achieves the target mean strength (33.5 MPa) on the 28th day, and on …
B.A. in English and Related Literature, M.A. in Irish Literature Tupac Shakur's ' The Rose That Grew From Concrete ' is a simple yet evocative depiction of beauty's ability to survive despite circumstances that would ordinarily stifle it.
