The use of industrial waste and/or by-products as alternative sources of raw materials in
building materials has become standard practice. The result, more sustainable construction …

Concrete structures and pavements are subjected to various durability problems associated
with moisture penetration through the pores and the capillary networks. Published data on …

The current work investigates the fluidity and the loss of the flow rate of cement paste and
mortar over time, as well as the pore structure and compressive strength of concrete and …

The effects of polycarboxylic acid (PC), naphthalene sulfonate (NS), and aliphatic (AH)
superplasticizers on the carbonation of concrete were investigated. These three kinds of …

Steel microfiber reinforcement was previously found to be successful in mitigating alkali
silica reaction in concrete, an expansive phenomenon. The use of steel microfibers to …

The effects of three superplasticizers, Polycarboxylic acid superplasticizer (PA),
Naphthalene sulphonated superplasticizer (NS) and Aminosulfonic acid based …

This paper investigates the performance of slag concrete exposed to artificially made sea
water. Concrete specimens of 100 mm cubical size were cast and precured for 30 days in …

The idea of sustainable development assumes that natural resources must be treated as
limited goods and that waste must be managed rationally. This idea and the constant striving …

Effects of different chemical admixtures on fresh and hardened properties of prolonged
mixed concrete and their cost‐effectiveness were investigated. Influence of sand to …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the influence of a crystallizing chemical admixture on
precast micro concretes with two water contents (7% and 11%, by dried mass) and two …
