This paper reports the results of research investigating the impact of copper tailings on some durability properties of cement pastes, mortars and concretes. Four mixtures incorporating copper tailings at 0% to 15% cement ...

Corrosion is a long-term process resulting in the deterioration of the reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Most of the structural problems observed under the impact of either earthquakes or service loads might occur due ...

The main disadvantage of high-strength concrete is its highly brittle behavior and this can beovercome by adding fibers to the concrete. This would also improve some other mechanical properties of high-strength concrete ...

Naturally concrete shrinks when it is subjected to a drying environment. If this shrinkage is restrained, tensile stresses develop and concrete may crack. Plastic shrinkage cracks are especially harmful on slabs. One of ...

There are many test methods to measure the impact resistance of fiber-reinforced concrete that are complicated, time consuming, and expensive. A practical test method has been developed to measure the impact resistance of ...

Now, it is widely accepted by civil engineers and architects that walls and masonry building units, which are made of pumice, can insulate buildings against both heat and sound, and also reduce the dead load of the building ...
