Abstract:

Introduction: This research is a part of a broader study on the evolution of concrete properties when exposed to high temperatures. It aims to analyze the behavior of ordinary concretes at elevated temperatures, incorporating either organic or synthetic fibers in the same dosage. Metods: Three concrete compositions were formulated: plain concrete without fibers (CO1), polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete (CFP), and chicken feather fiber-reinforced concrete (CFC1), with both fiber-reinforced types containing an identical fiber dosage of 0.9 %. The prepared specimens were subjected to a heati

Abstract:

Recycling concrete construction waste is a promising way towards sustainable construction. Indeed, replacing natural aggregates with recycled aggregates obtained from concrete waste lowers the environmental impact of concrete constructions and improves natural resource conservation. This paper reports on an experimental study on mechanical and durability properties of concretes casted with recycled aggregates obtained from two different parent concretes, belonging to two structural elements of the old Cagliari stadium.

Abstract:

Currently Timber-Concrete Composite (TCC) Constructions are often applied for strengthening existing timber beam slabs. The load bearing capacity of the composite construction is primarily affected by the material properties of the timber beam and the concrete slab. But the type of bond between both parts is also of high importance. The concrete slab has to perform several tasks, not only in load carrying direction of the ceiling but also perpendicular to the direction of span or for stiffening the whole building. These tasks will be pointed out in this paper. Furthermore the working process (

The article is dealing with study of chloride ions diffusion in ultra-high performance concrete UHPC, which might be potentially dangerous. Life of concrete structures, in particular in transport sector is jeopardized by risk of steel reinforcement corrosion with regards to exposure of the concrete surface to direct impact of de-icing salts. Measured data were examined in relation to the depth of penetration of chloride ions into the concrete structure. Experiment results proved that UHPC concretes are more resistant to penetration of chlorides than normal strength concretes.

Durable concrete exposed to the environment requires a proper air-void system for protection against cycles of freezing and thawing. Durable concretes also must have low permeability to resist the infiltration of harmful solutions into concrete.

Abstract:

Concrete is the most commonly used material for construction. Supplementary  cementitious materials  are finely ground solid materials that are used to replace a portion of the cement in a concrete mixture. These supplementary materials may be naturally occurring, manufactured or manmade waste. Metakaolin is a dehydroxylated aluminium silicate. From the recent research works  using Metakaolin, it is evident that it is a very effective pozzolanic material and it effectively enhances  the  strength parameters of concrete. This paper presents the results of an investigati

The inorganic polymer concrete is a new environmentally material. Using the temperature - stress test machine to research its early cracking sensitivity, and compare it with the normal concrete. The deformation development process of inorganic polymer concrete consists three stages:early contraction, expansion, contraction to cracking; cracking temperature can effectively evaluate the overall cracking performance of concrete; the cracking temperature of inorganic polymer concrete is 14.2 °C, the normal concrete is 14.4 °C; the inorganic polymer concretes cracking stress is 2.658MPa, the normal

Abstract The use of biobased materials in building construction allows the reduction of fossil resource use and energy consumption. Among biobased materials, hemp lime concrete has been investigated in many studies highlighting its capacity to regulate interior relative humidity and its high insulation capacity. In order to design high-performance biobased concretes, a new hemp lime concrete combining the hygric regulation capacity of hemp lime concrete with the thermal regulation performance of phase change material was developed. This article focuses on the thermal and hygric performance of

Abstract:

Freeze–thaw resistance is a significant issue in the durability of concrete; however, it is not widely discussed in the context of limestone addition to concrete. The present study aims to compare the effect of the addition of different types of limestone powder on the frost resistance of ordinary and self-compacting concrete. Three types of limestone powder were added to concrete in an amount of 15% and 30% cement weight. Compositions with and without the air-entraining admixture were prepared in each instance. Research included tests of consistency, air content, air void distribution, compre

<em>Concrete, the most extensively used material in construction, continues to evolve significantly. Today's concrete is no longer just a basic blend of cement, water, and aggregates—it increasingly incorporates mineral additives, chemical admixtures, fibers, and other advanced components. While conventional infrastructure applications will remain the dominant market for concrete, specialized or "à la carte" smart concretes are also gaining traction in niche sectors.</em> <em>The emergence of these smart concretes is driven by advancements in concrete science, innovations in admix

This research aimed to evaluate the freeze-thaw performance of waste rubber substituted concretes with two different water/cement ratios. Different ratios of waste rubber were used in concrete by substituting fine and coarse aggregates. The weight and compressive strength losses of rubberized concrete and control concretes subjected to freeze-thaw were experimentally examined. The changes in the microstructure of the concrete were analyzed by using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Furthermore, ANOVA was used to test the significance of the selected parameters statistically. The control co

Abstract:

Concrete is the most used man made material nowadays. The environmental impact associated with cement production is very significant due to the extent of concrete use. At the same moment cement production is associated with large energy consumption and high amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Development of concrete technology during last twenty years has lead to a significant quality shift of technical parameters and also of related environmental impacts. New types of optimized concrete mixes have significantly improved characteristics from the perspective of strength, mechanical resistance,

Abstract The research concentrated on the use of concrete demolition waste (CDW) to achieve long sustainability, as coarse aggregate in the production of Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Concrete demolition waste (RCA) is used to replace natural coarse aggregates (NCA) in M-25 grade concrete production, preserving natural resources and reducing the amount of demolition waste that must be landfilled. The effect of substituting 25%, 50%, and 100% NCA with three cycles of RCA on the mechanical characteristics with an endurance of hardened concrete was studied and compared to control concrete. T

Abstract:

Concrete is a common material in construction which has a brittle behavior and can undergo severe structural discontinuities and crushing as a result of growth and propagation of cracks. Prior research shows that using polymer material such as polypropylene fibers can be effective in restricting crack propagation and improving the performance of the concrete. Despite the reported studies, further systematic investigations are still required to demonstrate the enhanced performance of polypropylene fiber-reinforced concrete for a variety of structural and seismic applications. On this basis, the
