The negative impacts of cement-based material (CBM) production are way bigger than ever
expected. To illustrate the scale of this phenomenon, all the forests in the world, regardless …

The study of the application of nanotechnology in the construction industry and building
structures is one of the most prominent priorities of the research community. The outstanding …

Marble industry produces large amounts of waste marble–what causes environmental
problems. In paving blocks based on two cement types we have partly replaced aggregate …

The present study aims in developing high density radiation shielding composite using
induction furnace (IF) steel slag as an aggregate (coarse/fine) in concrete. IF steel slag is …

To benefit of humankind, radiation is used in medicine, industry, and academics, as well as
for generating electricity. Neutron radiation is a kind of ionisation emission that releases free …

Improving concrete shielding properties for preserving both environmental and human
safety in nuclear power plants is essential. Iron slag and Hematite have high molar mass …

The properties of hardened concrete can be significantly improved by fibres. However, the
addition of fibres to fresh concrete results in a loss of workability. Self-compacting concrete …

We studied the influence of fly ash content and replacement of crushed sand stone
aggregate with concrete wastes and marble wastes in pre-fabricated concrete interlocking …

To modify some properties of serpentine-based concretes, serpentine aggregate (S) was
partially replaced with either hematite aggregate (H) or barite aggregate (B) at levels of 25 …

The purpose of this study is to make a concrete shield for gamma rays using barite and
hematite gradation in separate, mixed and multi-layered forms. Nuclear and mechanical …
