Concrete is a unique composite material that is porous and highly heterogeneous. The
durability of steel reinforced concrete in chloride environments is of great interest to design …

The effects of silica fume as an admixture in cement-based materials are reviewed in terms
of the mechanical properties, vibration damping capacity, freeze-thaw durability, abrasion …

This study designed an eco-friendly pervious concrete (PC) product using waste glass cullet
(WGC) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) by dry-mixed compaction technique. The …

At present, the cement industry generates approximately 5% of the world's anthropogenic
CO2 emissions. This share is expected to increase since demand for cement based …

Concrete performance is affected by aggregates, the bulk cement paste and particularly the
interfacial transition zone (ITZ). In this regard, the ITZ is generally weaker than either of two …

This study focuses on the mechanical, fracture and durability characteristics of self-
compacting high-strength concrete (SCHSC) containing recycled polypropylene plastic …

A test program was carried out to develop information about the mechanical properties of
rubberized concretes with and without silica fume. Two types of tire rubber, crumb rubber …

Abstract Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an advanced type of concrete that can
enhance the durability and resilience of concrete structures. The use of local materials is a …

The present paper is directed towards developing a better understanding on the isolated
contribution of silica fume on the tensile strengths of high-performance concrete (HPC) …

The cemented paste backfill (CPB) method, which is the most preferred method for tailings
storage, is one of the most used methods for the disposal of mine tailings. However, the high …
