One issue with layer application of roller compacted concrete(RCC)is the development of cold joints,which can cause damage to RCC structures.In this study,fly ash was used in place of 0%,20%,40%,and 60%of the cement o...
The hazardous environmental effects of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change demand alternative sources for cementitious materials in the construction industry.The development of geopolymer structures provides a...
Although fibers are used only infrequently as an additive in concrete in the construction industry,fiberenhanced concrete is known to provide a wide range of advantages over conventional concrete.The main objective of...
The present study proposes the mix design method of Fly Ash(FA)based geopolymer concrete using Response Surface Methodology(RSM).In this method,different factors,including binder content,alkali/binder ratio,NS/NH rati...

Experimental evaluations were conducted to determine the water sorptivity,setting time,and resistance to a highly acidic environment,of mortar with alkali-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag(GBS)binder and ...
Authors are thankful to Counto Microfine Products Private Limited for supplying the Alccofine and Mr.Mohammed Tabish Anwer,Senior Concrete Technologist,Fosroc India Private Limited for providing chemical admixtures used in the study.
Previous studies on concrete have identified silica fume(SF)as the most effective supplementary material,whereas fly ash(FA)and slag have been identified as economical materials with long term strength potential.Devel...

Fly ash was used as catalytic support for carbon nanotubes(CNTs)growth by chemical vapor deposition(CVD)due to having ideal compositions(SiO2,Al2O3,and Fe2O3).In this paper,CNTs were synthesized on Ni catalyst/fly ash...
Geopolymer, an inorganic aluminosilicate material activated by alkaline medium solution, can perform as an inorganic adhesive. The geopolymer technology has a viability to substitute traditional concrete made of portl...
