Natural sands show a variety of mineralogic compositions and chemical characteristics;
when sand is used in concrete aggregate, these properties may result in different concrete …

The correlation between the properties of the parent rock (PR) and the manufactured sand
(MS) is poorly understood. In this study, eight groups of PR, crushed rock (CR), and MS were …

The potential sustainability and cost-effectiveness of seawater sea-sand concrete (SWSSC)
have sparked widespread research interest and prompted extensive applied studies …

This paper presents the details of an experimental study on the electrical resistivity of iron
ore mine tailings produced in Western Australia. In the study, an experimental set-up is …

The current study showed utilization of locally available beach sand from Marine National
Park in facileextraction of highly amorphous silica via a simple alkali fusion method. The …

In this article, the authors present the results of their research on assessing the effect of
selected mineral additives on the alkaline reactivity of aggregates. The main objective of this …

The continued coffee demand in Kenya has amplified the generation of its husk wastes
causing disposal problems. This has led to serious pollution to the environment. Therefore …

This research is focused on sodium silicate bonded silica aggregates for making sustainable
construction materials such as bricks and precast products. Different compositions are …

Flexural strength is an important design parameter for concrete structures which is seriously
affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR). Predicting the effect of ASR on flexural strength is …

The alkali silica reaction (ASR), which originates in highly alkaline conditions in concrete
where reactive forms of silica are available, causes serious damage to concrete structures …
