Limestone crusher dust is used as filler material for cement or concrete depending on the chemical composition. This dust is composed of particles which pass 75 mm BS sieve. The influence of limestone crusher dust content ...

Historically, reinforcement of concrete with a single type of fiber has so far been successfully used and potentially affects the overall performance of concrete. However, there is still room to improve knowledge on the ...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of fiber volume (i.e control, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) and aspect ratios of 55, 65, and 80 of hooked-end steel fibers on the behaviour of plastic shrinkage ...

This paper focuses on the effect of cement content on concrete maturity. The experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions on eight different concrete mixtures prepared from ordinary Portland cement (cement contents ...

The building material industry has been developed due to the increasing population. This brings chronic shortage of building materials. According to this the civil engineers have been challenged to convert the industrial ...

Biomass energy production is considered an environmentally friendly way of providing energy because of its CO2 neutrality. Unfortunately, the disposal of particulate residue from biomass combustion has thrown up a ...

Natural building cut stones are being used in Cyprus for ages to build masonry structures. Almost all of the historical buildings in Cyprus are made of these natural cut stones. Although these cut stones are low cost ...

Today many countries are producing self-compacting concrete (SCC) and it is known that SCC has many advantages compared to conventional concrete. On the other hand, it is very well known that tensile strength of concrete ...
