In the first stage of the paper, the effect of binder content, curing temperature and curing time on the compressive strength of light-weight geopolymer mortar (LWGM) was investigated. The base materials used for LWGM are ...

Even though aggregate constitutes major volume in geopolymer concrete, only limited study related to this parameter has been reported. This paper presents the summary of study carried out to understand the influence of ...

Reinforced concrete (RC) is one of the most commonly used composite materials in construction industry. Corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded in concrete is a crucial issue leading deterioration of RC structure. In this ...

The current study presents an experimental study conducted on the effectiveness of volcanic pumice powder (VP) on the fresh properties of self-compacting concretes (SCCs) with and without silica fume (SF). In the first ...

The flexural behaviour of steel beams significantly affects the structural performance of the steel frame structures. In particular, the flexural overstrength (namely the ratio between the maximum bending moment and the ...

This paper presents the results obtained from an experimental study conducted to investigate the effect of shrinkage reducing admixture (SRA) and steel fiber addition on the performance properties of lightweight aggregate ...

Bond deterioration between the reinforcement and surrounding concrete is one of the crucial reasons for the structural degradation in the steel-concrete composite structures. The assessment of bond deterioration due to ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the hardened characteristics of the self-compacting concretes made with cold bond fly ash lightweight aggregates. Binary and ternary use of fly ash (FA) and silica ...

This study reports the results of an experimental study on mechanical properties of plain and metakaolin (MK) concretes with and without steel fiber. To develop the metakaolin included steel fiber reinforced concrete ...

This paper presents the experimental results of a research carried out on the strength and permeability related properties of high performance concretes made with binary and ternary cementitious blends of fly ash (FA) and ...
