The present study quantitatively evaluates the residual density, compressive strength, flexural strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) of high-performance self-compacting …
Any variation in temperature alters the dimensions of a concrete structure and provokes thermal stress. Moreover, the propagation of micro-cracking decreases the strength of …
This study examines the effects of accelerated carbonation on the mechanical properties, dry bulk density, porosity accessible to water, and the CO 2 sequestration capacity of a …
Construction and demolition activities generate numerous waste that could be reutilized as recycled aggregates. The replacement of natural aggregate with recycled aggregate …
Exposure to high temperatures is one of the most important processes of deterioration in concrete structures during their service life. Because high temperatures cause adverse …

Abstract Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) has greater elasticity than natural aggregate, due to the presence of adhered hydrated mortar in the coarse fraction, and mortar particles …
In recent years, there has been a heightened focus among researchers and policymakers on assessing the environmental impact and sustainability of human activities. In this context, the …
Most concrete studies are concentrated on mechanical properties especially strength properties either directly or indirectly (fresh and durability properties). Hence, the ratio of split …
