Alkali-activated materials (AAMs) are alternative binders that can be used instead of
Portland cement in construction. One of the main drivers in their utilization is that AAMs can …

To arrest the growth of global environmental issues, curbing the greenhouse gas emissions
and primary energy consumption in concrete production is among the efficacious strategies …

This work proposes that diatomite can be used to improve the performance of recycled
aggregate concrete (RAC). A calcined diatomite sample with an amorphous silica content …

Replacing Portland cement with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) reduces the
high environmental impacts of cement production. However, in western US, such reduction …

A mild hydrothermal method to functionalize diatomite with Fe 0/iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe
0/FeO x-DE) was attempted and its performance as a new magnetic adsorbent to recover …

The construction industry offers one of the most attractive options in the use of recycled
materials due to its large consumption of raw materials and high construction work rates …

Brick and concrete are the main materials contributing to demolition and construction waste.
Considering this precedent, the effects of using both residuals in medium strength concretes …

In this paper an overview is presented on the use of diatomaceous earth (DE) as a partial
substitute for binder and fine aggregate in mortars. For this purpose, this paper was divided …

This paper presents the results of a study on properties of cement mortars containing high
volume of raw diatomite powder as replacement of cement. The use of high volume of …

The chief objective of this study is to investigate the cracking behavior of concrete with
variable loadings of diatomite. Acoustic emission parameters during the compression testing …
