Valorization of galvanic sludge in sulfoaluminate cement.(Formula)
Feb 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT Every year increasing amounts of industrial waste are generated worldwide. Depending on their characteristics, wastes can represent an important source of secondary raw materials in order to replace natural resources. In this study, galvanic sludge (LDG) was used as raw ...
Influence of natural coarse aggregate size, mineralogy and water content on the permeability of structural concrete.
Feb 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT This experimental work discusses the relevance of natural coarse aggregates of different geological sources in the permeability of structural concrete. Good quality granite, basalt, calcareous and marble natural coarse aggregates, obtained from different quarries, were ...
Influence of coal bottom ash as fine aggregate on fresh properties of concrete.
Feb 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT This paper investigates the influence of the use of coal bottom ash as a replacement for natural fine aggregates on the properties of concrete in the fresh state. Tests for water loss through bleeding, and the determination of the setting rimes and plastic shrinkage, ...
Experimental and numerical analysis of a halved and tabled traditional timber scarf joint.
Feb 01, 2009; ... Abstract Traditionally constructed heavy timber trusses, found in timber framed buildings and bridges, employ various traditional joints, among them the lower chord scarf joint. This paper examines the behavior of a halved and tabled scarf joint, which was studied as an isolated ...
Strength and durability of concrete incorporating crushed limestone sand.
Feb 01, 2009; ... Abstract In recent years, there is a growing interest in the use of crushed sand obtained from limestone quarries in some countries where river sand is not widely available. The fines content is usually high in crushed sand which can adversely affect concrete properties. The ...
