In this study,the effect of equivalent Na_(2)O(Na_(2)Oeq)ratio of cement on fresh properties and compressive strength of paste and mortar mixtures containing polycarboxylate ether-based high range water reducing(HRWR)...
In this study,the effects of recycled glass(RG)and recycled concrete(RC)fine aggregates on the drying-shrinkage,carbonation,high temperature and abrasion resistance of mortar mixtures were investigated comparatively.I...
Adobe is an ancient building technology made of sun dried bricks joined together by mud mortar. This paper deals with the physical and mechanical characterization of three different typologies of adobe bricks and one ...
This self repair system is based upon harmless ground borne bacteria as the self-healing agent.The bacteria are activated after the concrete is cracked and the bacterial spores are exposed to moisture and air.The bact...
This paper examines the thermal performance of 20 different mortar mixes,which were prepared in order to study the behaviour of mortar incorporating Phase Change Materials(PCM).The PCM was used at a rate of 10,20 and ...
Steel micro fibers provide strengthening,toughening and durability improve-ment mechanisms in cementitious composites.However,there is not much data in the literature regarding how the extent of their effectiveness ch...
Experimental data describing the mechanical performance of Portland cement-hydrated lime mortars used for straw bale construction is presented.Straw bale construction uses stacked straw bales plastered on each side to...
