Abstract: Sustainability is important to the well-being of our planet, continued growth of a society, and human development. Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. However, the production of ...

Abstract: Repair costs of reinforced concrete structures exponentially grow with the time from construction to the onset of corrosion and deterioration, up to inspection, evaluation, repair, and rehabilitation. Therefore, the planning ...

Abstract: This research was carried out to evaluate the use of foundry sands on properties of flowable slurry. Two different flowable slurry mixtures were proportioned for strength levels in the 0.34–0.69 MPa (50–100 psi) range, at ...

Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of foundry sand and fly ash on permeability of flowable slurry mixtures. In this work, two reference flowable fly ash slurry mixtures were proportioned for strength levels ...

Abstract: This research is conducted with a view to investigate performance of concrete containing high volumes of ASTM Class C fly ash. A portland cement concrete, proportioned to have 28‐day compressive strength of 6,000 psi (41 ...

Abstract: This investigation was performed to establish the effects of the source and amount of fly ash on abrasion resistance of concrete. A reference concrete was proportioned to have a 28-day age strength of 41 MPa. Three sources ...

Abstract: The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was determined for a typical concrete-paving mixture made with six different types of coarse aggregates belonging to the basic class of glacial gravel, quartzite, granite, diabase, ...

Abstract: This project was conducted to evaluate the performance and leaching of controlled low strength materials (CLSM) incorporating fly ash and foundry sand. Two different CLSM (or flowable slurry) reference mixtures (equivalent ...

Abstract: The nonlinear performance of a shear wall building can often only be described by full-scale testing or nonlinear analysis. Full-scale tests are time consuming and expensive; nonlinear analysis often is mathematically ...
